The term service mesh has been widely used over the last several years to refer to technology that helps to manage communications across microservices and applications. In the cloud-native world, arguably the first implementation of a service mesh came from Buoyant with the open-source Linkerd technology in 2015. Over the last 10 years, Linkerd has grown as a core project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Today the project is out with Linkerd 2.18, continuing the technology’s decade-long evolution with improvements focused on operational simplicity and real-world production scenarios.
