Production MCP Starts Here
Demystify agentic traffic with Linkerd, the only AI-aware service mesh to give you metrics on resource, tool, and prompt usage like failure rate, latency, and throughput in the observability stack you already use.
Auditable zero trust security
Say goodbye to IP-based access control, perimeter firewalls, and buffer overflow exploits. Say hello to workload identity, end-to-end encryption, and deny-by-default security policies.
Ultra-high availability
Scale out across multiple clusters, remove single points of failure, dynamically redistribute application traffic in response to latency or instability, and transform your Kubernetes platform into a truly resilient distributed system.
Network and cloud cost savings
Decommission expensive application load balancers, reduce cloud costs with zone-aware load balancing, and reduce latency—all without sacrificing reliability.
Production-ready service mesh
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd is our production-ready distribution of the open source Linkerd service mesh, built for sustained use at scale and long-term commercial support.

According to the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, an astonishing 70% of serious security bugs are memory vulnerabilities —a problem that is endemic to software written in C and C++.
Linkerd is the only service mesh built in Rust, a memory-safe language that protects against precisely this type of vulnerability while being just as fast (if not faster!) than C and C++.
After all, the platform of the future can't be built in the language of the past.
Linkerd avoids memory safety bugs by using Rust
We're committed to open source

We contributed Linkerd to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2016, and in 2019, Linkerd became the first service mesh project to achieve graduated status in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, the highest level of maturity possible.

Our customers are changing the world
We had the Linkerd multi-cluster up and running within an hour! After a few days of struggling with Istio, we gave up on it. Linkerd did the job fast and easily — the perfect mesh for us. It had all the features we needed at the time, was easy to operate, had a great community, and solid documentation.
