Roadmap

Version 1.0 - Second Alpha - End of April 🌳

The goal of this version is to solidify the MVP to enable common AI integration use cases and grow our community.

Rightsize AI context

• Add mocking feature to MCP server adapter similar to REST server adapter
• Add tool annotations (readOnly, destructive, idempotent, openWorld)
• Add support for authentication in the MCP server adapter

Enable API reusability

• Add HTML and Markdown data format support for HTTP consumption
• Add inteporability with OpenAPI (HTTP "consumes" and REST "exposes" adapters)

Core developer experience

• Factorize capability core with functions initially, entities and events later
• Publish Naftiko JSON Structure
• Publish Naftiko Skill based on Naftiko CLI
• Publish Naftiko Ruleset based on Spectral
• Publish Maven Artifacts to Maven Central
• Publish Javadocs to Javadoc.io
• Publish Docker Image to Docker Hub
• Allow reuse of "binds" blocks across capabilities
• Externalize individual "exposes" objects into separate files, similar to "consumes" objects
• Use named objects for input and output parameters, like for properties, matching the JSON Structure syntax
• Allow inline scripts for functions, operations and tools (JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Groovy)

Version 1.0 - Third Alpha - End of May 🌳

Rightsize AI context

• Facilitate integration with MCP and AI gateways
• Facilitate skills publication in skills marketplaces

Enable API reusability

• Enhance support for tags and labels across capabilities
• Support HTTP cache control directives
• Enable API token refresh flows
• Enable pagination at consumes and exposes level
• Support Webhook server adapter for workflow automation
• Facilitate integration with API gateways

Enable agent orchestration use case

• Support A2A server adapter with tool discovery and execution

Core developer experience

• Enhance traceability and debuggability of engine
• Add conditional steps, for-each steps, parallel-join
• Publish starter capability templates (golden path skeletons with all required fields pre-filled)
• Provide Control port usable via REST clients, Naftiko CLI
• Native integration with Langchain4j. See issue #293

Version 1.0 - First Beta - End of June 🌼

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

• Rightsize AI context
  • Evolve MCP server adapter to support server-side code mode like CloudFlare
• Enhance API reusability
  • Add support for resiliency patterns (retry, circuit breaker, rate limiter, time limiter, bulkhead, cache, fallback)
  • Publish reference bridge capabilities (RSS/Atom XML feeds, XML/SOAP, CSV, etc.)
• Enable capabilities governance
  • Expand support for "tags" and "labels" in Naftiko Spec
• Provide enhanced security
  • Facilitate authorization management
• Incorporate community feedback
• Complete test coverage and overall quality

Version 1.0 - General Availability - September 🍎

The goal of this version is to release our first version ready for production.

• Incorporate community feedback
• 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.

Enhance API reusability

• Add support for gRPC and tRPC 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

Enterprise security

• Facilitate integration with Keycloak, OpenFGA

Operator experience
