    Discontinued The API traffic viewer for Kubernetes providing deep visibility into all API traffic and payloads going in, out and across containers and pods inside a Kubernetes cluster. Think TCPDump and Wireshark re-invented for Kubernetes [Moved to: https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark]

    Mizu is an open source multi-protocol traffic viewer for Kubernetes that can be used to view API traffic between microservices communicating over synchronous and message queue protocols.​Traffic viewing is essential for troubleshooting bugs, defects, and regressions. It helps developers find the root cause of a problem quicker and therefore deploy faster. Mizu is available to download as an executable binary or as source code directly from its GitHub repository.

  • gopacket

    Provides packet processing capabilities for Go

    For example, gopacket uses libpcap by default for capturing the traffic. Libpcap doesn't support network namespaces and we can't ask it to listen to traffic on a different namespace. However, we can change the network namespace of the calling thread and then start libpcap to see the traffic on a different namespace.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • libpcap

    the LIBpcap interface to various kernel packet capture mechanism

    For example, gopacket uses libpcap by default for capturing the traffic. Libpcap doesn't support network namespaces and we can't ask it to listen to traffic on a different namespace. However, we can change the network namespace of the calling thread and then start libpcap to see the traffic on a different namespace.
