The architects of open source service mesh technology Istio and Envoy have broken off to set up an enterprise-grade solution aimed at large-scale customers.
Since some of the founders are known for their work on central open source projects such as gRPC and Istio, and the company has some of the core Envoy maintainers on board, Dell Technologies Capital, 8VC, Intel Capital, Rain Capital, and Samsung NEXT had no compunction in throwing in $12.5M in funding in to get Tetrate off the ground.
As modern software delivery models rely more and more on microservices to break up applications into easily managed bite-sized chunks, the IT networking world stands on a precipice. A new disruptive force called service mesh networking is entering the scene with about the same velocity that container tools like Kubernetes had several years ago. The innovators behind service mesh believe that they will change the face of network performance management and security in very short order.
Tetrate, a San Francisco, CA-based enterprise service mesh company, raised $12.5M in funding.
The round was led by Dell Technologies Capital with participation from 8VC, Intel Capital, Rain Capital, Samsung NEXT, Pankaj Patel, Guido Appenzeller, BV Jagadeesh, and Shiva Rajaraman, and others.
