Linkerd

Linkerd is an open-source software tool designed to improve microservices communication in cloud applications. It acts as a "service mesh," managing how different parts of an app interact securely and efficiently. This includes tasks like load balancing, monitoring, and ensuring reliability, which helps developers identify and resolve issues faster. By using Linkerd, organizations can enhance the performance, security, and observability of their distributed systems without altering the code of their applications, enabling smoother operations and better user experiences. It’s especially valuable in complex environments with many interconnected services.
