KEYNOTE

Universal Mesh: Simplifying Modern Connectivity

Universal Mesh is an architectural pattern that emerged from observing common connectivity challenges faced by HAProxy customers. Unlike traditional, more complex service meshes, Universal Mesh is a fresh approach to creating a system that facilitates a more seamless and secure connectivity.

This pattern lets you connect systems across different environments, like business units, cloud regions, and outside partners. It allows both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes services to communicate seamlessly, no matter where they are located. It offers a streamlined approach to security, observability, and scalability, integrating with existing brownfield services and Kubernetes fundamentals without altering network fundamentals.

Find out how Universal Mesh can connect fragmented setups, simplifying the complex connectivity issues that modern teams face.
