Our take

Kubernetes is now standard for running containerized, cloud-native applications at scale. This can leave developers with a headache as they attempt to navigate a chaotic ecosystem of cloud native open-source tools. Ambassador Labs offers both an open-source and commercial platform that makes it faster and more efficient for developers and engineers to build and test services in a Kubernetes-centric world.

The company is seen as a leader in Kubernetes-native API gateways with more than 10,000 organizations using the commercial edition of the platform, including enterprise customers such as Microsoft, Chick-fil-A, Nvidia, and Ticketmaster.

The company continues to record impressive customer and headcount growth, and has been rewarded with funding that should enable Ambassador to properly execute its expansion plans out of the US.
