I treat AI tooling like production infrastructure, with the same rigor as any other part of the pipeline:
| Layer | Tools I work with |
|---|---|
| Pair & agent coding | AWS Kiro for spec-driven agent workflows; Claude for AI-assisted development & code review |
| Context protocol | MCP (Model Context Protocol): connecting LLMs to real backend/DevOps context |
| AI in the JVM | Spring AI & LangChain4j for chat, embeddings & MCP servers in Spring Boot |
| AI-assisted delivery | AI code review, log-triage & root-cause analysis in CI pipelines |
Kview is an ultra-lightweight, zero-dependency Apache Kafka® web management tool, CLI, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
- 📊 Real-Time Topology & Dashboard: Interactive SVG pipeline connecting Producers → Brokers → Partitions → Consumers with live throughput counters.
- 🔍 Non-Committing Safe Reads: Browse topics via partition assignment seeks and stream records over Server-Sent Events (SSE) without triggering consumer group rebalances.
- 📜 Pluggable Schema Registry SPI: Confluent, Redpanda, Karapace, and Apicurio support with 5-byte wire sniffing, Avro/JSON codecs, and in-memory caching.
- 🔐 Multi-Cluster & Enterprise Auth: Runtime cluster switching supporting mTLS (PEM paste), SASL (PLAIN, SCRAM-SHA-256/512), and OAuth2 OIDC client credentials.
- 🤖 16-Tool AI Agent MCP Server: Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, and AI coding agents directly to Kafka to inspect lag, query metadata, and produce test messages over JSON-RPC.
