What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Stream GitHub Actions workflow runs to Kafka for real-time deployment monitoring

Automatically publish every workflow run, job status, and deployment event to dedicated Kafka topics. Engineering teams can build real-time dashboards and alerting on deployment frequency, failure rates, and pipeline performance without custom instrumentation.

Push pull request events to Kafka for code review analytics and metrics

Stream every PR opened, reviewed, approved, and merged into Kafka topics with full metadata. Data teams can analyze review cycles, identify bottlenecks, and track engineering velocity across repositories without polling the GitHub API.

Route GitHub issue and bug events to Kafka for cross-platform incident tracking

Publish issue creation, assignment, label changes, and closures to Kafka topics in real time. Operations teams can correlate engineering issues with production events, customer tickets, and monitoring alerts in event-driven architectures.

Stream commit activity to Kafka for developer productivity and contribution analysis

Capture every commit, branch, and tag event from GitHub repositories into Kafka topics. Analytics teams can build real-time contributor metrics, track code churn, and analyze development patterns without batch jobs or API rate limits.

Trigger GitHub Actions workflows from Kafka events for event-driven deployments

Consume messages from Kafka topics to automatically trigger GitHub Actions pipelines. DevOps teams can orchestrate deployments based on production events, monitoring alerts, or customer activity flowing through their event streaming platform.

Create GitHub issues from Kafka error and anomaly streams for automated incident response

Monitor Kafka topics for application errors, system anomalies, or data quality issues and automatically create GitHub issues with full context. Engineering teams can track production problems in their existing workflow without manual ticket creation.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize GitHub and Kafka with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands GitHub's webhook payloads, REST API schemas, and Actions metadata alongside Kafka's topic structure, partition keys, and message formats to automate event streaming without custom code.

AI that speaks GitHub webhooks and Kafka protocols

Redbird automatically maps GitHub event payloads—from workflow runs and pull request reviews to issue comments and release events—into properly structured Kafka messages with appropriate partition keys and serialization. The AI handles schema evolution when GitHub adds new fields, manages topic configuration for different event types, and ensures idempotent delivery. Transform nested webhook JSON into flattened Kafka schemas or route different event types to separate topics based on repository, organization, or event metadata.

faster than building custom GitHub webhook consumers and Kafka producers

No need to manage webhook endpoints, handle retry logic, or write serialization code for each event type

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from GitHub and Kafka simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either GitHub or Kafka.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from GitHub into Kafka, or from Kafka back into GitHub. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from any GitHub event or Kafka message and take action across your entire development and data infrastructure.
