Fast and reliable TCP and HTTP load balancer
Kuma
Universal service mesh for Kubernetes and VMs
About Kuma
A universal service mesh built on Envoy that runs on Kubernetes and virtual machines, providing mTLS, traffic policies, observability and multi-zone deployments for modern applications. Its open development model means documentation, plugins and community support are publicly available, and organisations can contribute fixes upstream instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap. For many teams it becomes long-lived infrastructure: simple to back up, straightforward to automate and independent of per-seat pricing as usage grows steadily.
