Solo.io

Solo.io delivers a unified platform that bridges cloud-native connectivity and agentic AI infrastructure, built on open-source foundations like Istio, Envoy, kgateway, and kagent. The platform provides enterprise-grade API gateway and service mesh capabilities alongside tools to build, connect, and scale intelligent AI agents natively in Kubernetes. Solo.io is a top 10 CNCF contributor with over 65K GitHub stars and 28K+ community members, trusted by enterprises like T-Mobile, BMW, ADP, and Mattel.

Key Features:

• Solo Enterprise for kgateway — A feature-rich, Kubernetes-native ingress controller and next-generation API gateway built on Envoy and the Kubernetes Gateway API; get started by deploying via Helm on any Kubernetes cluster.
• Solo Enterprise for Istio (Gloo Mesh) — Securely connect and observe microservices across multiple clusters and clouds with an enterprise Istio service mesh; begin with the Ambient Mesh readiness assessment.
• Solo Enterprise for agentgateway — Provides AI connectivity, security, resiliency, and governance for agents, tools, LLMs, and inference workloads; deploy as a gateway for your entire AI strategy.
• Solo Enterprise for kagent — Brings agentic AI to cloud-native Kubernetes with built-in observability, tracing, and secure policies for production-ready AI connectivity; start with the kagent CLI quickstart.
• Ambient Mesh support — Sidecarless Istio deployment model that reduces resource overhead and operational complexity; migrate from sidecars with zero downtime using guided labs.
• AI Gateway capabilities — Multi-LLM provider routing, semantic caching, prompt guards, prompt enrichment, credentials management, and consumption reporting for GenAI workloads.
• agentregistry — Agent skills and MCP registries for Kubernetes, enabling discovery, naming, and resolution of AI agents and tools.
• Open-source community — Leads and contributes to Istio, kgateway, kagent, agentgateway, and Ambient Mesh projects with 3B+ downloads; join via Slack or GitHub.
• Solo Academy — Self-paced labs and courses covering Envoy basics, Istio, service mesh, API gateway, and AI gateway topics for hands-on learning.
• Zero Trust security — mTLS, SPIRE integration, authorization policies, and compliance tooling built into the service mesh and gateway layers.
