Performance of Linkerd Across Market Features
Linkerd Likes & Dislikes
It's feature of runtime traffic routing is very useful. Also, it is essentially zero-config for dynamic services and namespaces. Also, its feature of adaptive load-balancing and tech that's built for scale are very useful. It is faster than Istio which is similar to Linkerd
Manages load balancing successfully, relatively simple and adequate rate limiting, good caching of previous requests
Linkerd's rust based data plane proxy servers are very small and lightning fast. No complicated API's or configuration. Also we can monitor metrics such as request rate , success rate and latency for every rate with keen observation.
We constantly need to perform rolling restart to bring back stability as the pod seem to get into a split brain state very frequently. Websockets are not supported by Linkerd.
Stability issues prompting unexpected restarts, but fortunately just an occasional issue
I don't think there's anything to mention for dislikes.
