Resilient service mesh for cloud native apps
linker∙d is a transparent proxy that adds service discovery, routing, failure handling, and visibility to modern software applications
-
Fast, lightweight, and performant
Handles tens of thousands of requests per second per instance with minimal latency overhead. Scales horizontally with ease. -
Any language, any environment
Runs as a transparent proxy alongside existing applications, integrates with existing infrastructure. -
Latency-aware load-balancing
Balances request traffic using real-time performance, reducing tail latencies across your application.
-
Runtime traffic routing
Provides dynamic, scoped, logical routing rules, enabling blue-green deployments, staging, canarying, failover, and more. -
Drop-in service discovery
Integrates with most service discovery systems, decoupling applications from specific implementations. -
Production-tested and proven at scale
Powers the production infrastructure of banks, artificial intelligence companies, social networks, government labs, and more.
"The success of our system depends on having a solid layer that can route around component failure, minimise latency, and give us insight into runtime behaviour. linkerd provides all this and more!"
—Oliver Beattie, Head of Engineering, Monzo
