Decentralized architectures require decentralized LBs
Introducing ZeroLB, a better way to build load balancing via service mesh that is more perfomant and reliable than legacy load balancers.
Centralized load balancers have no place in decentralized architectures, with ZeroLB we can provide intelligent and portable load balancing on K8s and VMs.
By removing an extra hop in the network we can decrease network latency by 2x on request lifecycles and 4x on full roundtrips. Being slow is not an option.
Without a centralized load balancer in front of every service in our organization, we can reduce costs up to 7 figures per year while decreasing complexity.
MS3 Selects Kong Mesh to Power its Next-Generation Integration Platform
Being able to inject end-to-end security and tracing without introducing performance issues is huge for our customers. With Kong Mesh and Kong, we know that our customers will get a flexible, high-performance solution for all their needs, now and in the future.
Yahoo! Japan - Looking Beyond the API Platform
With Kong, we knew that we would get something that would work perfectly with our technology today and set us up for where we want to go. Kong allows us to deploy on-premise, easily integrates with all the technologies we use across the company and gives us the flexibility we want to avoid vendor lock-in.
Verifone Trusts Kong for its Global, Omnichannel Payments Solution
Since all regional payment systems were previously monoliths exposing APIs separately, the API gateway was a greenfield project for Verifone. "In moving to microservices, we knew we needed an API gateway.
Sky Italia modernized and transformed into an APIOps-led organization with Kong Enterprise
By using Kong Enterprise, we have been able to build a 360° API lifecycle management platform that has allowed Sky Italia to improve performance and availability while reducing our deployment time. Embracing an API-based model has allowed us to make a deep cultural change, operating according to a “product-driven” pattern and getting closer to our end customer needs
Deploy ZeroLB architectures
Kong Mesh can automatically inject a modern service mesh across every service, API, and application to provide smart decentralized load balancing.
- Round Robin, Least Connect, Ring Hash, Maglev, Random
- Traffic splitting, weights, canary, blue/green, feature flagging.
- Support for multi-clusters and multi-cloud.
- Injects on Kubernetes, VMs and bare metal.
- Zone aware load balancing to reduce egress costs.
- Portable across every cloud and datacenter.
Self-healing and intelligent
With ZeroLB, load balancing not only gets faster, but it also provides automatic self-healing and zone failover to maximize uptime.
- Dynamic health checks and circuit breakers
- Zone failover across both containers and VMs
- Cross zone load balancing to lift and shift workloads
- Dyamically configured via Envoy proxy
Native load balancing telemetry
Load balancing our workloads is not enough, being able to determine where and when error occurs is critical to determine the health of our applications.
- 70+ observability charts out of the box
- Service topology map
- Native tracing via Zipkin, Jaeger or Datadog
- Logging and metrics collection to any 3rd party
Secure and Govern APIs
Empower teams to provide security, governance and compliance.
