Varun Talwar

Varun Talwar is the co-founder of Tetrate. Varun has created not one but two very widely used projects – Istio and gRPC. He wants Istio to do to networking what Kubernetes did to compute. His philosophy that has driven him to create these open source projects: Solve a hard problem and make it easier for people to adopt the technology.

He first hand understood the challenges that enterprises are going through with modern applications on heterogeneous infrastructures and wanted to solve for those. He started Tetrate along with JJ to create a safer and more responsible path to application modernization for enterprises.

Tetrate provides the world’s leading Application Networking and Security Platform built on top of open source Istio and Envoy with a modern management plane that brings centralized governance and decentralized enforcement of application networking – essential for implementing Zero Trust security across legacy and modern workloads.

When enterprises modernize their application development strategies in order to serve millions of users globally and improve developer efficiency, platform operations management becomes even more crucial for businesses to run efficiently and reliably. DevOps and Platform teams often need to provision and take operational actions on hundreds of thousands of applications and resources daily while maintaining safety and compliance – as well as leveraging the speed of innovation that the cloud brings.
