Slim Data Plane
Sidecars are gone. A lightweight node proxy delivers cluster-wide mTLS, L4 routing, and Zero-Trust, drastically cutting CPU & memory and scaling cleanly past 1 million pods.
Liberate your Mesh.Accelerate your roadmap.
Drop the sidecars, keep the security, cut the bill—Solo.io makes Ambient an afternoon upgrade, not a six-month refactor.
How Ambient mesh works
Smart Policy Plane
Waypoint proxies inject L7 policies to reshape the traffic only where needed—keeping latency sub-millisecond and budgets under control.
Migration Magic
Run the free Solo migration tool and watch workloads slide into Ambient Mode without a single dropped request – complete with built-in health checks and instant rollback.
Cost Savings Estimator
Switching from sidecar to ambient mesh saves resources, reduces complexity, and lowers costs.
