Solo Enterprise for Kgateway

Agentic Infrastructure

Cloud Connectivity

Trusted by industry leaders

True Open Source. No Asterisks.

While other gateway vendors have retreated behind paywalls, or where continued maintenance is questionable, Kgateway remains committed to 100% open source under the CNCF. No bait-and-switch licensing. Fully featured with a diverse community, available Enterprise extensions when you're ready for them.

  • CNCF Sandbox project with clear governance
  • Apache 2.0 licensed—forever
  • Active community with regular releases
  • No vendor lock-in, Enterprise extensions only when you need them

Traffic Management

Intelligent Traffic Control for Modern Applications

Route, split, and transform traffic across any protocol—REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket, and more. Kgateway gives platform teams centralized control while enabling application teams to self-service their routing needs through delegation. From simple path-based routing to complex weighted canary deployments, handle it all with Kubernetes-native configuration.

Request Routing

Route by path, header, method, query parameter, or host. Full Kubernetes Gateway API support.

Security

Defense in Depth at the Edge

Protect your APIs with enterprise-grade security that scales. From TLS termination and mTLS to advanced authentication with OAuth 2.0/OIDC, JWT validation, and Web Application Firewall capabilities—Kgateway provides the security controls you need without slowing down development. Meet compliance requirements with FIPS-compliant images and data loss prevention policies.

TLS Termination

Terminate TLS at the edge with automatic certificate management. SNI-based routing.

Resiliency

Keep Services Running When Things Go Wrong

Build fault-tolerant systems with battle-tested resiliency patterns. Circuit breakers prevent cascade failures, retries with exponential backoff handle transient errors gracefully, and rate limiting protects your backends from overload. Whether it’s a traffic spike or a misbehaving downstream service, Kgateway keeps your APIs available and responsive.

Retries and Timeouts

Configurable retry policies with exponential backoff. Per-route and per-try timeouts.
Learn more

Circuit Breakers

Outlier detection and ejection. Prevent cascade failures across services.

Developer Portal

Accelerate API Adoption with Self-Service

Give developers everything they need to discover, understand, and integrate with your APIs. The Gloo Portal provides automatic API documentation from OpenAPI specs, self-service credential management, and customizable portal experiences. Reduce time-to-first-call and increase API adoption across your organization and partners.

API Discovery

Automatic discovery of OpenAPI specifications from services and external endpoints.

Analytics & Monetization

Turn API Traffic into Business Insights

Understand how your APIs are being used and by whom. Track usage patterns, identify your most valuable consumers, and make data-driven decisions about your API strategy. With built-in monetization capabilities, transform your APIs from cost centers into revenue streams with usage-based billing and tiered access plans.

API Usage Analytics

Track total requests, error rates, consumers, and services with detailed usage dashboards.
Learn more

Usage Plans

Create and manage usage plans with rate limits and access controls for API products.
Learn more

Consumer Tracking

Track requests by user, email, or API key to understand consumer behavior.

AI, MCP, and Agents

Secure, Govern, and Observe Your AI Infrastructure

Traditional API gateways weren't built for AI—they're optimized for stateless REST interactions, not the stateful, bidirectional, session-aware patterns that LLMs, MCP, and agents demand. That's why Solo built Agentgateway from the ground up: a high-performance Rust-based gateway purpose-built for the agentic era. Now a Linux Foundation project, Agentgateway is to AI infrastructure what Envoy became for cloud-native—the foundational data plane for secure, observable, enterprise-grade AI connectivity.
