Snapt
High-performance software load balancers, ADC, and WAF
About Snapt
Snapt builds modern application delivery controllers (ADCs) including software load balancers, web application firewalls (WAF), GSLB, and acceleration. Its two platforms - Aria (single-instance, high-performance ADC) and Nova (cloud-native, centrally managed, container-friendly ADC) - handle Layer 7 load balancing, SSL offloading, and security across public cloud, private cloud, VMs, and bare metal.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- High performance: 100k L7 RPS and 20k SSL TPS on Aria
- Flexible deployment across any cloud, container, VM, or bare metal
- Combines load balancing, WAF, GSLB, and acceleration in one platform
- No lock-in: cancel, upgrade, or shift licenses anytime with no fees
- Nova's cloud-native architecture suits modern Kubernetes/microservices stacks
Cons
- Smaller ecosystem and community vs F5, NGINX, or HAProxy
- Configuration complexity for advanced rule systems can be steep
- Fewer third-party integrations than enterprise incumbents
- Enterprise pricing requires sales contact
Key Features
Layer 7 Load Balancing
