About Sermant

Sermant is an open-source, cloud-native service mesh solution designed to provide non-intrusive service governance for large-scale microservices architectures. Leveraging Java bytecode enhancement technology, Sermant enables seamless service mesh capabilities without requiring any code modifications, making it ideal for enterprises running Java-based applications seeking to improve service reliability and observability. Its agentless design eliminates the need for sidecar proxies, reducing latency and resource consumption significantly.

Targeted at enterprise IT organizations managing complex microservices environments, Sermant offers a plugin-based architecture that supports dynamic loading and an extensible plugin ecosystem. This allows developers to easily create and integrate custom governance features without impacting business logic. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project, Sermant aligns with modern cloud infrastructure trends and supports cloud-native microservices governance with high performance and minimal operational overhead.

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Evaluate Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Dell PowerProtect, and Druva against your real RTO and RPO targets — with ransomware resilience, not backup windows, as the deciding criterion.
Cloud Cost Management & FinOps
Compare IBM Apptio Cloudability, VMware Tanzu CloudHealth (Broadcom), Flexera One, Harness, Finout, Zesty, and Vantage on the question this category actually turns on — not whether a dashboard is pretty, but whether shared-cost allocation is accurate, committed-use buying is optimized, and engineering acts on the recommendations.
Cloud Infrastructure & IaaS
Compare AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and DigitalOcean on the one thing the pricing calculator hides — egress, support-tier costs, committed-use discounts, and lock-in — not the on-demand compute rate the demo shows you.
