Linkerd vs. COVID-19: Addressing the global Pandemic with a Service Mesh
summary
Linkerd is an ultralight service mesh running on Kubernetes that powers NCBI sites including the core COVID-19 page and PubMed (searching over 32 million citations), backs Clover Health’s vaccine finder, runs Penn State’s COVID test scheduling for 70,000 students with tests within 72 hours and again at day 10, and enabled H‑E‑B to roll out curbside and home delivery across 300 stores faster than anticipated with no measurable performance regressions and improved reliability, security and observability.
