What is Linkerd?

Linkerd significantly improves the security, observability, and reliability of your Kubernetes setup without requiring any changes to the existing codebase. It is licensed under Apache and has a vibrant, growing, and friendly community surrounding it. Developed with Rust, the data plane proxies of Linkerd are incredibly lightweight, weighing in at under 10 MB, and they deliver impressive performance with sub-millisecond latency for 99th percentile requests.

The control plane can be deployed within a single namespace, facilitating a gradual and secure service integration into the mesh. Furthermore, it offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools, such as automatic mapping of service dependencies and real-time traffic monitoring. Its exceptional observability capabilities enable you to monitor vital metrics, including success rates, request volumes, and latency, ensuring every service in your stack performs at its best. This allows development teams to concentrate on building their applications while reaping the benefits of improved operational visibility and insights. As a result, Linkerd stands out as a valuable addition to any cloud-native architecture.
