API Governance
Establish a repeatable, low-friction operating model for API governance across the full lifecycle -- so standards and controls are enforced consistently without slowing delivery.
Take Me to the Repo
Teams need governance that behaves like a product: clear expectations, self-service paths, automated feedback, and evidence that policies were followed. The governance workflow must work across distributed teams, multiple gateways, and heterogeneous integration stacks, while producing an auditable trail that compliance can trust.
Naftiko makes governance declarative and enforceable -- standards are embedded in specs, validated in CI, and enforced at runtime. Golden paths make compliant delivery the default, not the exception.
The Naftiko Fleet — six components, all at v1.0.0-alpha3
Spec-Driven Integration (SDI) ties every component to a single declarative YAML spec — authored once, linted by Polychro, executed by Ikanos, authored in Crafter, governed by Warden, orchestrated by Skipper, and documented in Shipyard.
Shipyard
The documentation hub and public front door for the Fleet. Tutorials, concepts, editions. Soon: a hosted Playground and AI-assisted Ask Navi search across the corpus.
Ikanos
The OSS capability engine. Runs a Naftiko spec as a multi-protocol server — REST, MCP, and Skill from the same definition. Apache 2.0.
Polychro
The OSS deterministic AI-era linter for YAML, JSON, and Markdown specs. The new Spectral for SDI. Apache 2.0.
Crafter
The capability builder for VS Code and most AI IDEs. Visual + spec-driven authoring with inline governance and live topology.
Warden
Capability governance and policy enforcement for Backstage. Scorecards, scaffolding, fleet explorer, impact tracing.
Skipper
Fleet-wide orchestration for Kubernetes — across teams, regions, and compliance domains. Continuous compliance and FinOps tagging.
Start small, scale smart
Governance as a golden path, not a gate.
