Linkerd

Definition

Linkerd is a lightweight, ultra-low-overhead service mesh for Kubernetes focused on simplicity and operational ease. Unlike Istio, Linkerd uses purpose-built micro-proxies instead of Envoy, resulting in lower resource consumption and simpler configuration.

Linkerd is a CNCF graduated project and provides mTLS, traffic splitting, retries, and comprehensive observability with minimal operational burden.
