CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solo.io, the application networking company, today announced its second annual SoloCon 2022, a global, virtual event connecting industry experts, technical leaders, and customers to share best practices for adopting, applying, and using API gateway, service mesh, and cloud native technologies. This year’s SoloCon, set for Feb. 22-24, will feature keynote speakers, technical sessions, hands-on training, networking, and more. The free event also includes customized agendas for different regional time zones with curated experiences for the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
“There’s been a great deal of industry and community innovation surrounding eBPF, GraphQL, and Istio. SoloCon captures it all with advice, tricks, and lessons that will help enterprises adopt, manage, and use forward-looking technologies such as service mesh that deliver tangible value to end users,” said Idit Levine, founder and CEO, Solo.io. “SoloCon is back by popular demand — and we’re upping the ante with new, live instructor-led workshops, sessions broadcast in three different time zone regions, new in-depth Istio workshops, a new Istio expert certification, an eBPF certification, and much more. We look forward to lively discussions and discoveries during the event!”
SoloCon 2022 will kick off following a momentous year for Solo.io that saw over 100 GA, beta, and patch releases covering thousands of enhancements across its Gloo Mesh, Gloo Edge, and Gloo Portal product offerings. The company remained a top contributor to open source, launching its BumbleBee Project, an open-source project that simplifies the development, packaging, and sharing of eBPF tools. Solo.io also hosted 75+ training events, including hands-on workshops covering Istio education and certification, Kubernetes API gateways, and developer collaboration — all with more than 7,400 registered participants.
SoloCon is Solo.io’s one-stop shop for participants to learn the latest about service mesh, eBPF, GraphQL, WebAssembly (Wasm), Envoy Proxy, Istio, and more in over 35 sessions, keynotes, roadmaps, and lightning talks. Solo.io will run three topic tracks focused on “community and open source,” “service mesh and application networking,” and “API gateway and edge technologies.” The last day of SoloCon, Feb. 24, will offer hands-on, developer-focused workshops.
