Service Mesh Introduction
summary
Explains how Linkerd installs into Kubernetes with a CLI, injects a sidecar via the linkerd inject annotation, and ships Prometheus and Grafana; the proxy is a custom Rust proxy <10MB that yields p99 <1ms latency. Demonstrates on a three‑service emoji app with a vbot load generator, showing live call graphs, per‑service latencies and success rates (around 90–95%), transparent mTLS, traffic shaping and canary routing, and verifies cluster health with linkerd check.
