Demystify agentic traffic with Linkerd, the only AI-aware service mesh to give you metrics on resource, tool, and prompt usage like failure rate, latency, and throughput in the observability stack you already use.
According to the US 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++.
Linkerd is the only service mesh built in Rust, a memory-safe language that protects against precisely this type of vulnerability while being just as fast (if not faster!) than C and C++.
After all, the platform of the future can't be built in the language of the past.
Linkerd avoids memory safety bugs by using Rust
Google’s Chromium project found that 70% of serious security bugs are due to memory safety problems.
We had the Linkerd multi-cluster up and running within an hour! After a few days of struggling with Istio, we gave up on it. Linkerd did the job fast and easily — the perfect mesh for us. It had all the features we needed at the time, was easy to operate, had a great community, and solid documentation.
