As more organizations turn to microservices architectures for their applications, Kubernetes naturally emerges as a perfect complement to those applications. But for application developers, building on Kubernetes can introduce complex problems to solve at the application layer. This is where service meshes like Linkerd come to the rescue and provide essential features like reliability, security, and observability. Doing this at the infrastructure layer in the service mesh means developers no longer need to implement these features in the application. This frees up developers to do what they do best–build new features. And operations teams can do what they do best–deliver the application with performance, security, and scale.
