About the Linkerd

Linkerd is an open-source service mesh designed specifically for Kubernetes. It provides critical features for modern microservice applications, including traffic management, security, and observability, without requiring any changes to application code. Linkerd is known for its ultralight footprint and focus on simplicity, performance, and security. It leverages Rust-based proxies (Linkerd2-proxy) for high performance and low resource consumption, offering features like automatic mTLS, traffic routing, load balancing, retries, timeouts, and rich telemetry for monitoring and troubleshooting distributed systems.
