What is linkerd2-proxy?
Linkerd2 Proxy is a purpose-built, transparent proxy for the Linkerd service mesh, written in Rust. It handles all traffic between microservices, providing automatic load balancing, mutual TLS, metrics export, and traffic inspection without requiring application changes. It solves the problem of securing, observing, and managing communication in distributed cloud-native applications.
Platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps teams deploying and managing service meshes in Kubernetes environments. It's also relevant for developers building microservices architectures who need transparent traffic management.
Developers choose Linkerd2 Proxy for its high performance and safety due to being written in Rust, its zero-configuration approach, and its tight integration with the Linkerd service mesh for comprehensive observability and security out-of-the-box.
