Gloo Gateway is Solo.io's enterprise, Envoy-powered, Kubernetes-native API gateway, the hardened and supported edition of the open-source kgateway, a CNCF project. The open-source core is free to self-host under Apache 2.0, while the enterprise edition adds supported auth, rate limiting, and a developer portal on a quote-based basis. It provides rate limiting, authentication management, and a developer portal, and is self-hostable on Kubernetes. Founded in 2017, Solo.io positions Gloo Gateway for enterprises running Envoy-based, Kubernetes-native API infrastructure rather than smaller startups.
