Gloo Gateway

Gloo Gateway is a fast, Kubernetes-native API gateway packed with features IT operations teams need to deliver a full lifecycle security strategy for their cloud-native environments.

Why Gloo Gateway?

Traditional API Gateways aren’t designed to thrive in the rapidly changing cloud-native ecosystem, often demanding extensive add-on infrastructure to ensure their resilience, high availability, and readiness for production use. Enterprise gateway and ITOps teams use Gloo Gateway because it is built to work with Kubernetes and the dynamic nature of the clusters running your cloud-native applications. No centralized database, no more hairpinning and scales with your application.
