Gloo Edge Integrations

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.

Modern cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes environments require assistance with scaling, securing, and monitoring. Gloo Mesh, utilizing the Istio service mesh, streamlines the management of service mesh for multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments. By incorporating Gloo Mesh into their platform, engineering teams can benefit from enhanced application agility, lower costs, and reduced risks. Gloo Mesh is a modular element of Gloo Platform. The service mesh allows for autonomous management of application-aware network tasks separate from the application, leading to improved observability, security, and dependability of distributed applications. Implementing a service mesh into your applications can simplify the application layer, provide greater insights into traffic, and enhance application security.
