- Gloo Mesh Enterprise was released (1.0 GA) in February 2021 and immediately became the industry’s most secure, most reliable, and easiest way to adopt and manage Istio service meshes with tons of improvements over open source Istio. In the second half of the year, we launched Gloo Mesh Enterprise 1.1, 1.2 and with even more functionality, including the new Gloo Mesh Gateway.
- Gloo Edge Enterprise solidified its leadership position with many advancements compared to open source Envoy Proxy in 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9, including FIPS-readiness, SOAP transforms, Flagger and GitOps, Amazon EKS Anywhere, and so much more.
- Gloo Portal came into its own as an Istio-native developer portal with the 1.0 GA and is now a full API management suite. Gloo Portal is CRD-driven and works flawlessly with existing GitOps processes, helping customers document and share APIs.
- GraphQL support on Gloo Mesh and Gloo Edge was announced at Kubecon in October. Embedding a GraphQL server natively into Gloo Mesh and Gloo Edge enables federated GraphQL queries of customer APIs using their service mesh and API gateways with no additional GraphQL servers required.
- A new open-source project, BumbleBee, was announced in January to simplify the developer experience for building, packaging, and distributing eBPF tools. BumbleBee automatically generates boilerplate user-space code for developing eBPF tools and brings a Docker-like experience to packaging an eBPF program, allowing it to plug into other OCI-image workflows for publishing and distribution.
