An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Solo.io is singlehandedly laying the groundwork for how cloud-native integration is supposed to behave.
Its Gloo Envoy proxy-based API gateway and ingress controller implements a configuration-driven control plane that connects, secures, and controls traffic across all application services.
Solo.io’s Service MeshHub is a multi-cluster service mesh control plane that enables its customers to streamline the installation, configuration, management, and extensibility of any service mesh on any cloud.
Gloo handles north-south traffic while Service MeshHub handles east-west, but in reality, the two products together offer a comprehensive cloud-native integration solution that fully abstracts endpoint interactions via a declarative, policy-based control plane.
But there’s more. Solo.io’s Web AssemblyHub enables organizations to extend Envoy proxy, Gloo API gateway and Istio service mesh with a WebAssembly (Wasm) module written in any programming language.
Wasm is fundamentally an execution environment for browser-based applications (think a next-generation Java Applet sandbox environment that supports any language).
Gloo has taken Wasm out of the browser and built a polyglot plugin capability to both API gateways and service meshes, opening up new extensibility options to these core technologies without requiring the customization of the underlying code.
