Cloud-native modular network proxy platform for scalable service mesh and load balancing

About MOSN

MOSN (Modular Open Smart Network) is a cloud-native network proxy platform primarily developed in Go, designed to provide modular, intelligent, and secure proxy capabilities across multiple protocols. Originally developed and open sourced by Ant Group, MOSN has been validated in production environments handling hundreds of thousands of containers during large-scale events like Double 11. It offers high performance and extensibility by integrating common cloud-native components and can also leverage Envoy as its network library.

MOSN is suitable for enterprises seeking to build or enhance their cloud infrastructure with advanced networking features. It supports integration with Istio to construct service mesh architectures, and can function independently as a layer 4 and 7 load balancer, API gateway, or cloud-native ingress controller. This flexibility makes it ideal for organizations aiming to optimize network traffic management, improve security, and streamline service communication in complex containerized environments.
