Case Study: uShip modernizes APIs and improves developer experience with Solo.io Gloo

uShip - Customer Case Study

uShip, a transportation marketplace company, needed a better way to modernize its long-running monolithic platform and improve API management for partners and developers. Using Solo.io’s Gloo API gateway, the team aimed to separate API responsibilities from the monolith, support a more cloud-native architecture, and create a more developer-friendly integration experience.

With Solo.io Gloo, uShip built a Kubernetes-native gateway layer that routes traffic to its monolith, new microservices, and Lambda functions, while adding delegation, OPA-based authorization, and support for diverse endpoints. The result was a smoother self-service platform, more standardized and automated infrastructure, improved monitoring and reliability, and greater ownership and satisfaction for developers, though no specific numeric metrics were provided.
