About

Cloud-native API gateway and service connectivity platform for managing APIs and microservices traffic.

Target Audience: Platform engineering, DevOps, and backend teams at companies running APIs and microservices across Kubernetes, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Not ideal for: Teams that only need a simple website proxy or lightweight routing layer without API management, security policies, or multi-environment traffic control.

What makes it different

  • Cloud-native design built for Kubernetes, multi-cloud, and hybrid deployments
  • Extensible plugin architecture for custom policies, auth, and traffic controls
  • Combines API gateway, ingress, and service connectivity in one platform
  • Strong fit for infrastructure-as-code and declarative configuration workflows
