A different kind of service mesh

Why Linkerd?

Reliability

Your customers rely on you. Linkerd adds critical reliability features like retries, timeouts, traffic splitting, and more to almost any Kubernetes application, improving reliability without code changes.

Security

Zero-trust security isn't just a nice idea, it's the best practice for cloud native environments. Linkerd adds mutual TLS (mTLS) between services, transparently encrypting and authenticating connections without developer involvement.

Observability

You can’t change what you can’t measure. Linkerd's powerful metrics, tracing, and request inspection features allow you to gain vital insights into the behavior and health of your Kubernetes application, without any modifications.

Linkerd runs everywhere Kubernetes does

On-prem or in the cloud, across one or many clusters
