About Aspen Mesh


Our mission: To ensure flawless app performance at scale.

The way to realize the potential of today’s modern app environment is to automate. The exploding complexity of microservices demands a new way of working. Teams are inundated with data and have outdated toolsets – people just can’t manage it anymore.

Aspen Mesh is tapping the self-optimizing capabilities already built in to today’s cloud-native environment drive higher app performance.

Our heritage of shaping early service mesh code and pioneering mesh implementation in large enterprises gives us rare knowledge of the intricacies of today’s modern app world. We have helped one of the world’s largest, most complex microservices environments achieve unprecedented app performance.

We are taking full advantage of powerful autonomic capabilities of today’s modern app environment, and we are adding machine learning, OpenTelemetry and app behavior modeling to continually tune and optimize app performance.

The Aspen Mesh SaaS Platform is empowering teams to automate more to scale with resiliency and reliably achieve their SLO’s.

Shawn Wormke, Incubation Lead

Shawn’s passion for building small teams focused on bringing emerging technologies to market drove him to co-found and lead Aspen Mesh. With two decades of experience building application networking and security products in companies like Cisco, LineRate Systems and F5, he had seen enterprises transition from hardware to software as they demanded to be more agile. As applications continue to evolve, he envisions a world where developers are unencumbered by infrastructure – and manageability, security and control the business demands are provided by a service mesh.
