24x7 oncall, training, architectural review, production runbooks, and more straight from the creators of the service mesh. No vendor lock-in, no enterprise add-ons, just open source support.
Buoyant is the creator and primary maintainer of Linkerd. We understand the ins and outs of the project. We’re the ones literally writing the code and fixing the bugs.
We’re not just the creators of Linkerd, we’re operators. Our Buoyant Cloud product is powered by Linkerd, and our team of SREs and platform owners works in close collaboration with our field engineering and support organizations.
Linkerd was the very first service mesh project and the one that coined the term ‘service mesh’ itself. Buoyant’s engineering-centric vision of how cloud native applications should work has spawned an entire industry and ecosystem.
We’ve been working with organizations small and large around the world for years and helping them adopt Linkerd and run it in production. No one else has the depth and breadth of experience with real-life production operations of Linkerd.
We don’t sell a service mesh, we don’t hold back features from Linkerd, and we don’t misrepresent what the service mesh is capable of. We fight every day against the needless complexity introduced by service mesh vendors who are incentivized to make things difficult for their users. Our goal is to help our users solve the very real and concrete challenges in running cloud native applications—and we’d love to help you get there.
