Case Study: Trip.com achieves scalable, stable cloud native networking with Cilium from CNCF

How Trip.com Group switched to Cilium For Scalable and Cloud Native Networking

Trip.com Group, a multinational travel service conglomerate, faced significant performance and scalability challenges with their internally developed Kubernetes networking solution as their clusters grew to over 20,000 nodes. Their platform struggled with bottlenecks, hardware limitations, and an inability to support rapid business growth, prompting a search for a new cloud native solution from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

By adopting the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Cilium, Trip.com implemented a highly performant and scalable eBPF-based networking solution. This resulted in a unified network and security platform across their hybrid cloud, eliminating major outages for over four years, significantly reducing operational costs, and successfully handling over 200,000 Hubble events per second.
