Our Founding Story
Tetrate was founded in 2018 by Varun Talwar, who previously served as the founding product manager on the Istio and gRPC projects at Google and Jeyappragash Jeyakeerthi (JJ), who previously led Twitter’s Cloud Infrastructure Management Platform team. Together, they started Tetrate with a vision to help Platform teams and Developers safely and reliably transform their infrastructure for the modern, multi-cloud era.
When enterprises modernize their application development strategies in order to serve millions of users globally and improve developer efficiency, platform operations management becomes even more crucial for businesses to run efficiently and reliably. DevOps and Platform teams often need to provision and take operational actions on hundreds of thousands of applications and resources daily while maintaining safety and compliance – as well as leveraging the speed of innovation that the cloud brings. Enter the service mesh.
