I’m working on https://www.zonehero.io/ to deliver a cost effective alternative to AWS native load balancing (ALB).
We already had a PoC which saved our customer 50% vs ALB (in their case that’s more than a million dollars a year), we’re now working on tooling and scaling the solution up!
Next we want to bring wasm modules to the lbs, to do edge traffic curation, bring your own model, etc.
In technical terms, we offer a fully managed control plane for an optimised version of envoy running on EC2, and we react in near real time to avoid unnecessary cross AZ traffic (the key to the costs savings).
