Gloo Platform integrates API gateway, API management, Kubernetes Ingress, Istio service mesh and cloud-native networking into a unified application networking platform.
Gloo Platform can help solve some of these challenges:
- Zero trust security architecture for APIs and microservices
- Combine north-south and east-west traffic management (API gateway + service mesh)
- Unified failover and security policy across gateway and mesh
- Aligning with the leading approaches to software development
- Scale across multiple dimensions (multi-cluster, multi-tenant, multi-cloud)
Gloo Platform components are powered by open source projects like Envoy proxy, Istio service mesh, and Cilium CNI. The Solo.io team is deeply involved in these open source communities to bring innovation and leadership to the upstream projects and to provide exceptional support to our customers, all packaged together in Gloo Platform.
As a part of Gloo Platform, Gloo Portal provides a Kubernetes-native framework for managing the definitions of APIs, API client identity, and API policies that enables GitOps and CI/CD workflows.
