Summary

Tetrate Service Bridge is an Istio-based service mesh and control plane for connecting, monitoring, and securing microservices. It centralizes configuration and visibility for service-to-service communication across Kubernetes and traditional compute clusters, including application edges, cluster ingress, and links between workloads. A global management plane can manage Istio and Envoy across multi-cluster hybrid environments. Security capabilities include end-to-end mTLS, certificate management, identity-aware authorization, role-based access control, and tenant isolation. Traffic controls include routing, circuit breaking, locality-aware failover, canary releases, traffic shifting, and blue-green deployments. The platform also provides metrics, distributed tracing, topology views, service inventory, dashboards, and alerts. Tetrate lists hosted and customer-deployed management plane options; self-managed installation requires several infrastructure components, including Kubernetes, a registry, databases, Redis, an identity provider, and cert-manager. The product is paid, with pricing available on request, and has no free plan.

Who it is for

TSB is aimed at platform owners, application developers, and security administrators managing large multi-cluster, multi-tenant deployments. It suits organizations using Kubernetes, AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or Google GCP that need service mesh management across hybrid environments.
