Linkerd Intro – Andrew Seigner, Buoyant.io, & George Miranda (Any Skill Level)
summary
Overview of Linkerd with a live demo: deploy two commands to run a daemonset per node proxy, a baseline cluster and a load tester that shows three times the throughput and roughly half the P50/P95/P99 latency versus naive round‑robin, plus 100% success rate vs ~90% for the baseline. Uses Prometheus + Grafana, a slow‑cooker load tester, dtab routing for dynamic traffic splits, EMA load balancing, retries and failure‑accrual circuit breaking, and TLS between nodes; rooted in Finagle.
