Netmaker is a startup that can help you create and manage a virtual network. Netmaker is a layer that makes it seem like machines are connected to the same network.
Netmaker relies a lot on WireGuard, a VPN protocol. Wireguard is faster, more secure and more flexible than older protocols.
Netmaker is involved in the equation. It manages wire guard tunnels on your network. All the machines in the network are affected by a configuration change. Netmaker can push updates to all clients if there is an update.
How can Netmaker be used? If you run an internet-of-things company, chances are you have devices spread out in different places. Netmaker makes it easier to communicate with each other.
Netmaker is a flexible VPC that can be used if you have a distributed workload across multiple clouds or have a hybrid infrastructure.
When you use Netmaker, you don't have a lot of overhead. Alex told me that they came close to WireGuard's performance.
The startup was founded in North Carolina and raised $2.3 million after graduating from Y Combinator.
Netmaker is a well funded startup that competes with others. Netmaker thinks it's quicker than the other companies because they tend to use relay connections and have different technical choices.
A good portion of the entities that use Netmaker are companies. The paid version of the startup has features that are not found in the free version.
The networking revolution is going to change the way computing infrastructure is designed. Netmaker would like to be a part of the new wave of startup. In an email, Feiszli wrote, "I think WireGuard has the power to redefine networking in the cloud and beyond."
