Roadmap

Future¶

The goal of this version is to deliver a stable MVP, including a stable Naftiko Specification.

Enable API reusability¶

• Increase HTTP client resiliency
• Retry on error or timeout
• Time limiter
• Circuit breaker
• Rate limiter
• Bulkhead
• Cache
• Fallback
• Facilitate integration with API gateways
• Enable token refresh flows for consumed APIs
• CORS configuration for API developer portals
• Gateway context propagation via Open Telemetry
• mTLS client certificates on consumes
• Support HTTP cache control directives
• Enable pagination at consumes and exposes level
• Enhance mocking feature for APIs either exposed or consumed
• Add client SDKs generation to Ikanos CLI for top languages (TypeScript, Python, Java, Go)
• Ensure it is extensible to bring your own client SDK generator (Apimatic, Fern, Stainless, Speakeasy, etc.)

Rightsize AI context¶

• Support dynamic MCP tools search
• Facilitate skills publication in skills marketplaces
• Facilitate integration with MCP and AI gateways
• MCP trust propagation
• Enable interactive MCP Apps
• Evolve MCP server adapter to support server-side code mode like CloudFlare

Enable agent orchestration¶

• Deterministic orchestration (conditional steps, for-each steps, parallel-join)
• Agentic with A2A server adapter with tool discovery and execution

Core developer experience¶

• Provide additional governance rules to our initial set (error, warning, info, hint)
• Facilitate authorization management (scope declarations and enforcement, via Open Policy Agent)
• Publish starter capability templates (golden path skeletons with all required fields pre-filled)
• Publish Naftiko JSON Structure
• Add Ruleset validation based on Polychro in Ikanos CLI
• Add live and generated capability UI similar to Swagger UI, Redocly and others
• Native integration with Langchain4j, see issue #293
• Incorporate community feedback
• Publish reference bridge capabilities (RSS/Atom XML feeds, XML/SOAP, CSV, etc.)
• Solidify the existing beta version scope
• Increase test coverage and overall quality
• Publish JSON Schema to JSON Schema Store
• Profile and optimize engine for best latency and throughput

Version 1.1 - December ¶

The goal of this version is to broaden the platform surface area based on production learnings.

Rightsize AI context¶

• Add AI framework wrappers (Langchain4j, LangChain, LlamaIndex)
• Support AI Catalog spec (join MCP, A2A initiative)

Enhance API reusability¶

• Support Webhook server adapter for workflow automation
• Add support for gRPC (incl. proto generation) and oRPC as server adapters
• Add full resiliency patterns (rate limiter, time limiter, bulkhead, cache)

Enable Data reusability¶

• Add support for Singer, Airbyte and SQL as server adapters
• Add support for FILE and SQL as client adapters
• Support templatized SQL request with proper security

Core developer experience¶

• Facilitate integration with Keycloak, OpenFGA
• Provide Control webapp (per Capability)
• Publish Docker Desktop Extension to Docker Hub
