Alex Feiszli is the founder and CEO of GRAVITL, a distributed cloud solutions company.

Alex started his IT career at Deloitte, where he was a lead developer at a major transportation account. From there, he moved on to Crossvale, a Red Hat partner, where he discovered his love of Kubernetes.

Most recently, Alex worked as a senior engineer at IBM, leading multiple teams of developers to implement cloud-native solutions on Kubernetes. Alex left IBM in early 2021 to form GRAVITL, which recently launched a distributed mesh VPN platform called Netmaker. Alex has worked with over 20 enterprise clients across cloud environments.

Alex Feiszli states on his website’s blog: Netmaker is a VPN that relies on WireGuard to forge fast, secure connections between devices and networks. WireGuard has demonstrated superior performance in industry speed tests, and so we wanted to run our own tests to determine how Netmaker performs against pure WireGuard, as well as other standard VPN alternatives.

In our tests, Netmaker demonstrated exceptional performance, especially on high-speed networks. On gigabit networks (1.25-2 gbps / 10.0 gbps burst), Netmaker achieved consistent data transfer speeds averaging 7.88 Gbits/sec, nearly identical to kernel WireGuard alone at 7.89 Gbits/sec.
