Our take
Service meshes are a critical piece of infrastructure for a lot of companies that aim to be cloud-native. This is because, with hundreds or more microservices, businesses need a way to track what’s running in their networks. Solo.io provides connectivity between microservices in the cloud through its API gateways and service mesh.
The unicorn company hit its $1B valuation in 2021 and was one of the only to be led by a woman. The company’s growth is due in part to the growing number of companies re-architecting their applications to microservices and Kubernetes, gaining new customers, and its astoundingly high business renewal rate from existing customers.
Solo.io counts some of the world’s biggest data centres and Cloud services as customers, including T-Mobile, Pega, BMW, American Express and Booking.com. The company has used its considerable funding to expand its offerings, developing new products and adaptable technology that cements it as a valuable partner for its clients.
