Thanks Shalini for all the help! :)
Orphan APIs is a silent problem. I like the product idea. And your UI is sleek.
Congrats on the launch!

Thank you @michael_vavilov 🙌🏻
@abhishek_krishnan5 Congrats! The AI-powered logic testing part sounds super useful, shadow and orphan APIs are such a headache for most teams. How does Astra keep up when new APIs pop up or old ones get deprecated? Does it catch changes automatically, or do teams need to nudge it?

@lina_huchok Thank you! 🙌 You’re spot on, shadow and orphan APIs are one of the biggest sources of “hidden risk.”
Astra keeps an up-to-date inventory automatically. We plug into your infra via gateways, load balancers, cloud services and observability pipelines like OpenTelemetry, so whenever a new API shows up or an old one goes dark, it’s picked up without you needing to manually update anything.

@debarghyaroy Thanks so much ! Really glad you found it useful. And nope, this isn’t related to the Flipkart project. Different origin story — Astra actually came from a different problem that most companies still treat security like an annual checkbox, while engineering teams are pushing new APIs and updates every week. That mismatch leaves a lot of gaps, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to fix.

Astra feels like the watchdog every modern API stack needs. I love how it doesn’t just stop at the OWASP Top 10 but goes deeper with 15,000+ test cases, that’s serious offensive security. Astra basically shines a flashlight into every dark corner of your infrastructure and then stress-tests it for you.

@istiakahmad Exactly! I am stealing "watchdog" & "shines a flashlight" for my future pitches. Thank you 😁
