solo.io

Founded 2017

Manage, secure, and route API and AI agent traffic across Kubernetes and cloud environments

You can use Solo.io to manage network traffic, microservices, and autonomous AI agents across modern cloud and Kubernetes environments. It provides specialized gateways that handle standard API requests alongside Model Context Protocol and agent-to-agent communications. You can enforce granular security policies, implement token-weighted rate limiting, and observe traffic across distributed systems without slowing down engineering workflows. Solo.io also connects with Istio Ambient Mesh and Envoy to secure service communication, manage digital identity, track server provenance, and run production agent workloads reliably.
