v0.8.1, released 2016-09-21

  • Fast, lightweight, and performant

    Handles tens of thousands of requests per second per instance with minimal latency overhead. Scales horizontally with ease.

  • Any language, any environment

    Runs as a transparent proxy alongside existing applications, integrates with existing infrastructure.

  • Latency-aware load-balancing

    Balances request traffic using real-time performance, reducing tail latencies across your application.

  • Runtime traffic routing

    Provides dynamic, scoped, logical routing rules, enabling blue-green deployments, staging, canarying, failover, and more.

  • Drop-in service discovery

    Integrates with most service discovery systems, decoupling applications from specific implementations.

  • Production-tested and proven at scale

    Powers the production infrastructure of banks, artificial intelligence companies, social networks, government labs, and more.
