Gloo

Gloo is Solo.io's family of open-source and enterprise API gateway, service mesh and developer portal products, built on Envoy Proxy and Istio and delivered as software the customer runs in their own Kubernetes clusters rather than as a hosted SaaS. Gloo Edge and Gloo Gateway provide ingress, advanced traffic management, external auth, rate limiting, WAF, GraphQL and AI/LLM traffic routing; Gloo Mesh manages multi-cluster Istio; and Gloo Portal publishes API products to internal and external consumers with teams, applications, subscriptions, API keys and OAuth credentials. Solo.io renamed its commercial line in 2026 — Gloo Gateway is now Solo Enterprise for kgateway and Gloo Mesh is now Solo Enterprise for Istio — and the upstream kgateway project is a conformant implementation of the Kubernetes Gateway API, passing 93 of 93 core and extended conformance tests against v1.6.1.

Gloo publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including API Products API, Applications API, Me API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include API Gateway, Cloud-Native, Developer Portal, Envoy, and Istio.

The Gloo catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Gloo’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, changelog, support, API reference, and 43 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

MarketPositionDepthRegistered MCP serverDeclares compatibility
API Management (gateways, portals, service mesh, proxies) standard 52.7 - 1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
