Volterra announced new capabilities for its VoltMesh service to provide globally distributed networking and security for cloud-native, API-centric applications.
The Gartner report Ensure Your API Management Solution Supports Modern API Trends Such as Microservices and Multicloud states, "Gartner's 2019 API Strategy and Usage Survey found that 45% of surveyed organizations reported using microservices architecture to build APIs".
Distributed applications require distributed load balancers and API gateways.
VoltMesh directly addresses many of the operational challenges of distributed cloud-native applications by consolidating multiple networking and security services into a single SaaS-based offering.
"When we founded Volterra, we envisioned a platform for application teams to deploy and operate distributed applications and infrastructure in a true cloud environment - wherever needed," said Ankur Singla, Volterra co-founder and CEO. "With the addition of a globally distributed load balancer, API gateway and strong API security, we are further bringing our vision to market and empowering DevOps with a cloud-native alternative to legacy point products."
