Solutions
“We’re still adapting a VM-era gateway to Kubernetes workflows.”
Start with Kubernetes-native Gateway API patterns instead of translating legacy configuration into cluster-specific workarounds. Solo.io gives platform teams a cleaner path to standardize routing, policy, and operations from day one.
“Security is bolted on after traffic is already moving, and sidecars add operational drag.”
Move zero-trust controls and policy enforcement closer to the gateway layer, where teams can apply consistent access, traffic, and security decisions without relying on per-service retrofits or sidecar-heavy operations.
“Every environment has its own gateway pattern, and my team owns the drift.”
Use one control plane model across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments so platform teams can reduce gateway sprawl, align policies, and operate distributed application networking with fewer one-off paths.

How is Gloo different from Kong, Apigee, or AWS API Gateway?
How is Gloo different from Kong, Apigee, or AWS API Gateway?
Gloo is built for platform teams that need application networking across gateways, service mesh, and emerging AI traffic patterns rather than only a single edge API gateway. Gloo uses Envoy-based control points and integrates with Kubernetes, Istio, and multi-cluster environments so teams can standardize policy, routing, security, and observability across distributed applications.
