December 2024 performance snapshot for akto-api-security/akto. Delivered value through key features that improve data integrity, user workflow, and security testing readiness, while hardening reliability. Major features include: (1) UI and API support to rename custom collection groups with persistence across the app, (2) OpenAPI import improvements with user prompt for missing sources and refined data handling for source metadata, and (3) HAR source enhancements introducing Burp Suite as a new HAR source with enhanced source tracking. Reliability and safety work included (4) robust null checks for sources and API collection types to prevent runtime exceptions, and (5) restricting OpenAPI uploads to individual API collections to avoid unintended uploads. Impact spans increased data accuracy, fewer runtime errors, safer content management, and a smoother security-testing workflow. Technologies demonstrated include Java-based backend hardening, OpenAPI handling, HAR parsing and source tracking, and UI/API integration, reflecting a strong emphasis on reliability, data integrity, and security readiness.

Month 2024-11 focused on robustness, performance, configurability, and observability across akto and its documentation. Business value delivered includes fewer UI errors, reliable vulnerability data displays, faster data loading for large datasets, flexible authentication testing through multi-token support, and clearer deployment guidance for on-prem and Helm-based deployments. Observability improvements provide better performance insights and easier operational governance.

October 2024 focused on improving UI relevance and backend validation for endpoint dependency graphs in akto. Implemented a backend check to determine the existence of a dependency graph for an endpoint and updated the frontend to disable the Dependency Graph tab when no graph is found, ensuring the UI presents only actionable information and reducing confusion. This work also lays groundwork for more accurate graph-based insights and contributes to overall product reliability across the akto API security suite.
