Feldera

Feldera is an incremental compute engine for running complex SQL data pipelines in real time. Rather than reprocessing entire datasets, it updates materialized views proportionally to the changes in the input data, delivering low-latency, low-cost results for use cases such as fraud detection, feature engineering, change data capture, and real-time dashboards. Feldera is built on the DBSP incremental computation theory and is available as an open-source engine, a self-hosted enterprise platform, and a hosted online sandbox (try.feldera.com). Developers define pipelines as SQL programs with input/output connectors and manage them through the Feldera REST API, a Python client, and the fda CLI. Backed by Costanoa Ventures.

agent native

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Feldera the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Feldera scores 59.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 65/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Feldera

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Feldera. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 6

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Feldera Input Connectors API

The Input Connectors API from Feldera — 5 operation(s) for input connectors.

Feldera Metrics & Debugging API

The Metrics & Debugging API from Feldera — 15 operation(s) for metrics & debugging.

Feldera Output Connectors API

The Output Connectors API from Feldera — 2 operation(s) for output connectors.

Feldera Pipeline CRUD API

The Pipeline CRUD API from Feldera — 2 operation(s) for pipeline crud.

Feldera Pipeline Lifecycle API

The Pipeline Lifecycle API from Feldera — 20 operation(s) for pipeline lifecycle.

Feldera Platform API

The Platform API from Feldera — 9 operation(s) for platform.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
