summary
Linkerd is an ultra-light, security-first service mesh that ships a Rust micro-proxy and third‑party audits and claims lower memory/latency than Istio; it runs 4+ years in production with a 5,000‑member Slack. Releases: 2.8 introduces a multi-cluster gateway for secure cross‑cluster traffic with a unified trust domain and no single point of failure; 2.9 adds TCP mutual TLS and load balancing, ARM64 and BYO Prometheus, service‑topology aware balancing and endpoint slice support; control‑plane modularization and server‑speaks‑first handling are planned.
