Buoyant Cloud vs. Envoy Proxy
| Product | Rating | Most Used By | Product Summary | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Buoyant Cloud | N/A | N/A | Buoyant Cloud is the eponymous enterprise solution for running Linkerd at scale, from the company in San Francisco, enabling the user to manage a service mesh deployment through a single pane of glass. Track data plane and control plane health, manage mesh lifecycles and versions, and get proactively notified of issues. Buoyant Cloud transforms Linkerd clusters into an automated and unified service mesh platform. | N/A |
 Envoy Proxy | Score10 out of 10 | N/A | Envoy Proxy is an open-source Layer 7 (and Layer 4) proxy. It runs as a sidecar next to services, as an edge proxy in front of a cluster, or as the data plane under a control plane. In a Service Mesh, every hop of east-west traffic can flow through Envoy so routing, retries, mutual TLS, and observability sit in one process instead of in each application. It does not execute application business logic and it does not run model weights. | N/A |
