Best On-Premises Service Mesh

A common flat vL3 domain allowing DBs running in multiple clusters/clouds/hybrid to communicate just with each other for DB replication. Workloads from multiple companies connecting to a single ‘collaborative’ Service Mesh for cross company interactions. Each workload has a single option of what connectivity domain to be connected to, and only workloads in a given runtime domain could be part of its connectivity domain. In short: Connectivity Domains are Strongly Coupled to Runtime Domains. A central tenant of Cloud Native is Loose Coupling. In a Loosely Coupled system, the ability for each workload to receive service from alternative providers is preserved. What Runtime Domain a workload is running in is a non-sequitur to its communications needs. Workloads that are part of the same App need Connectivity between each other no matter where they are running.

ARMO pioneers a new approach to Cloud Security with an open source powered, behavioral driven, Cloud Runtime Security Platform. ARMOs CADR (Cloud App Detection & Response) solution addresses a major unsolved pain point for organizations running on cloud-native architectures: how to continuously protect dynamic workloads during runtime without overwhelming teams with alerts or interrupting operations. ARMO CADR continuously reduces the cloud attack surface using real-time runtime insights, while actively detecting and responding to threats with true risk context. It includes 2 major products that are tightly integrated together and are part of one platform solution - * Kubernetes-First, runtime driven, Cloud Security Posture mgmt (CSPM) - identifying risks, prioritizing them and offering remediation without breaking applications in production * Real-Time Threat Detection & Response - detecting and responding to active threats across the entire cloud and applications stack

Ambient Mesh is a next-generation, sidecar-less service mesh designed to simplify security, connectivity, and observability for cloud-native workloads. It enables teams to secure and connect applications without modifying application code or adding operational overhead. Ambient Mesh provides zero-trust, SPIFFE-based security with end-to-end workload encryption. Built-in observability tools deliver distributed tracing, logs, and real-time performance insights. The platform supports advanced traffic control features such as routing, failover, and blue-green deployments. Ambient Mesh allows organizations to migrate from traditional sidecar-based meshes with zero downtime. By reducing complexity and resource usage, it helps teams operate more efficiently at scale.
