Tetrate Unveils Application Gateway: Intent-Driven Ingress Traffic Orchestration for Enterprise Platform Teams

Empowering Application Teams to Deliver Secure, High-Performance Applications at Scale Across Hybrid-Cloud Environments

San Francisco, CA – April 24, 2025 – Tetrate Inc. today announced the initial availability of the Tetrate Application Gateway, a next-generation platform designed to meet the demands of fast-moving enterprise application teams. Built on proven cloud-native technologies and Tetrate’s Service Bridge platform, the Application Gateway enables organizations to deliver applications rapidly and securely while maintaining compliance with platform and security policies.

Tetrate Application Gateway empowers enterprises to create a high-performance, secure, and highly observable mesh of gateways, enabling seamless application delivery from any location or platform. Application teams benefit from a streamlined process to expose and publish their applications to both internal and external users, while gaining actionable insights to optimize, scale, and troubleshoot their services.

Overcoming Traditional Limitations Application Delivery Solutions

Traditional application delivery solutions often struggle to keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern applications. These legacy systems require customers to develop and maintain complex custom processes for application publishing and security management, leading to cumbersome integrations with firewalls and observability tools. The result is a slow, multi-day review and authorization process for each application update, hindering business agility and innovation.

A Dynamic Approach to Application Publishing

Tetrate Application Gateway introduces a modern, intent-driven approach to application publishing, leveraging the industry-standard Istio service mesh. The platform is engineered to deliver a streamlined and efficient experience for application owners:

For Platform Teams:

• Scalable, hybrid-cloud-ready technology enables teams to architect optimal patterns of edge and application gateways.
• Transit gateways can be added as needed, with granular access and security policies defined for individual application teams.
• The mesh automates service identity and security rules, eliminating the need for complex firewall management.

⠀For Application Teams:

• Intuitive UI, API, Kubectl, and GitOps interfaces simplify the declaration and publishing of applications, regardless of management method.
• Automated service discovery and configuration instantiation ensure applications are onboarded quickly, within the guardrails set by platform and security teams.

⠀For All Users:

• A rich user interface, comprehensive metrics, traces, logs, and advanced visualization tools provide deep insight into traffic flows and facilitate rapid troubleshooting.

“Our customers all struggle with the challenge of delivering an optimal user experience for their application teams, while wrangling firewalls, ADCs, DNS, and routing across multiple teams,” said David Wang, Head of Products at Tetrate, Inc. “With our understanding of service mesh technology, it was clear that we could bring an innovative solution to market that would provide the user experience to delight application owners, and the security and manageability needed by high-performing platform teams.”

Rapid Onboarding and Broad Compatibility

Tetrate’s hosted solutions allow users to quickly deploy edge and transit gateways as needed, with seamless onboarding of application clusters. The platform automatically discovers services and guides platform teams in onboarding application owners to their designated segments. Tetrate Application Gateway supports workloads on Kubernetes, virtual machines, and external platforms, and can integrate existing load balancers to deliver services through Tetrate gateways.
