About:
Kubeshark is a real-time API traffic analyzer for Kubernetes that captures and analyzes all HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, and WebSocket traffic between microservices. It provides deep visibility into your cluster's internal communications without requiring code changes or complex configuration. This tool helps developers and SREs debug, monitor, and understand complex microservice interactions instantly.
Key Features:
  • Real-time traffic capture and analysis for Kubernetes clusters
  • Supports HTTP/HTTPS, gRPC, WebSocket, and other protocols
  • Zero-instrumentation required - works at the network level
  • Web-based UI for visualizing and inspecting API traffic
  • Automatic service discovery and traffic correlation
Use Cases:
  • Debugging microservice communication issues in real-time
  • Security auditing and compliance monitoring of API traffic
  • Performance analysis and bottleneck identification
  • Understanding legacy microservice architectures
Alternatives:
  • k9s – k9s is a terminal UI for Kubernetes management, while Kubeshark focuses specifically on API traffic analysis and debugging
  • wireshark – Wireshark is a general network analyzer but requires manual setup for Kubernetes; Kubeshark is Kubernetes-native with automatic service discovery
