Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd delivers modern, cloud-native network security and reliability to any organization. Built on open source and powered by Rust, the language of the future.
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd delivers universal zero-trust capabilities applicable to every application on your environment, without changing any code.
Transparently add encryption and bidirectional authentication to every network connection.
Automatically authenticate connections using cryptographic proof of workload identity, not easily-spoofed IP addresses.
Build human-readable, least-privilege access policies that cover workload identity, HTTP methods, gRPC routes, and more.
Go beyond firewalls and perimeter defense by building per-pod and per-instance security boundaries around every application component.
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd adds dynamic traffic management and control features designed for the realities of modern software applications.
Automatically redirect traffic to different clusters in the event of service failure, without interrupting application behavior.
Automatically send requests to the fastest available application components, reducing user-facing end-to-end latency.
Transparently retry requests sent to slow or failing endpoints on alternate endpoints, and automatically shed load to overloaded application components.
Reduce the risk of shipping buggy code to production by “easing” new code into production and automatically falling back to old code if problems are detected.
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd optimizes not just latency but network spend, ensuring your dollars are spent on business priorities first.
Preserve zone locality, reduce latency, and cut unnecessary cloud spend with Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd's High Availability Zonal Load Balancing (HAZL).
Route HTTP and gRPC traffic based on request properties with Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd, avoiding costly ALBs.
Automate Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd from installation to upgrades, freeing teams for more crucial tasks.
According to the 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++. At Buoyant, security is central to everything we do, which is why Linkerd is the only service mesh built in Rust, a language that protects against precisely this type of vulnerability by default while being just as fast (if not faster!) than C and C++. After all, the network of the future can't be built in the language of the past.
Watch: Why the future of the cloud will be built in Rust. Oliver Gould, CTO.
We created Linkerd in 2015 and coined the term "service mesh", creating an entire industry. We’ve been investing in the open source Linkerd project and the community around it ever since and today continue to be the primary maintainers of the open source project.
Visit linkerd.ioWe’ve been leading the charge for introducing Rust to the cloud native space. Linkerd’s innovative microproxy approach is powered by Rust, allowing us to deliver lightning-fast performance without the security vulnerabilities of languages like C++.
Visit rust-lang.orgWe 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.
