We found Istio to be unnecessarily complicated. We would have spent months just learning the system, which isn’t an option when you’re in a high-growth stage like IntelliGRC. With Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd, we could get it running immediately.

Matthew DuVal

Head Engineer at IntelliGRC

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.

Lead Platform Architect

Unlike other service mesh offerings that crowd half baked features into the mix, or over-complicated topology choices, Linkerd follows the Unix model of doing one thing well, in a composable way. Lachlan Smith, Lead Software Engineer
