Calinora Blog

We pointed one proposal engine at 1,000 randomly generated Kafka clusters - three brokers to a thousand, a thousand partitions to a million, every rack and replication shape we could think of. No per-cluster tuning. Here is how little the answer moves when you move everything else.

Just shutting down a broker that's getting replaced means hours of running with thousands of under-replicated partitions. Pilot's maintenance endpoint drains the broker first - one API call, no manual replica planning.

Pilot started as a metadata-only Kafka tool. The new Pilot Agent is opt-in, lives next to your broker, and unlocks what the protocol cannot show.

How Pilot's MCP-powered AI agent traced slow order processing to a disk-hot broker, rebalanced the affected topic, and resolved consumer lag - all through natural language with human approval gates.

We've published comprehensive documentation for Calinora Pilot at docs.calinora.io - getting started guides, feature deep-dives, deployment recipes, and a full API reference.

Every Kafka team hits the same wall. Broker load drifts, partitions need moving, and figuring out what's safe takes too long. That's why we built Pilot.
