Gate form factor

Sidecar

Roadmap

Per-workload enforcement alongside the service it protects. Planned for pods and local processes that need Gate without a shared reverse proxy.

Status

A per-workload sidecar form factor is planned; it is not shipping yet.RoadmapNo sidecar implementation exists in system/.

Sidecar is on the roadmap. It does not exist in the codebase today. This page describes intent only (there is no evaluation SKU and no purchase path).

Intended shape

  • One Gate process co-located with the workload it protects.
  • Same eight-stage check order and per-endpoint policy as proxy and SDK.
  • Useful where network topology makes a shared reverse proxy awkward.

Until sidecar ships, use reverse proxy or SDK middleware.
