Flagger, Linkerd, And Gateway API: Oh My!

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Flagger automates progressive delivery by driving traffic shifts via Gateway API HTTPRoute objects rather than mesh-specific APIs; Linkerd ships an extension that watches HTTPRoute weights and translates them to Linkerd objects (service profile and destination) so canaries actually receive traffic. The demo shows Flagger moving 5% every 5s up to 95% using Prometheus metrics (success rate, latency) to decide roll forward or rollback, and the live demo works: HTTPRoute reflects the split and Linkerd enforces it. Linkerd service profile is used to apply routing.
