| Platform Staff Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 5.0 | I use Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd to run a secure, observable, reliable Kubernetes service mesh, enforcing automatic mTLS and authorization policies with low operational overhead. Compared with AWS App Mesh, it’s simpler and more visible, though I want better Buoyant Cloud dashboards. |
| Staff Engineer at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | I find Linkerd a simple, reliable service mesh, used for two years. Enterprise support and HAZL are valuable; HAZL saves cross-AZ traffic costs and is safer than K8s routing. I wish HAZL load band tuning was easier. |
| Enterprise Engineer at a retailer with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd made deploying a reliable, lightweight service mesh easy for us. Its mTLS secures communication without complexity, significantly reducing setup and ongoing maintenance within our Kubernetes environment. |
| DevOps Engineer-2 at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | I needed a FIPS-enabled service mesh for FedRAMP compliance and chose Linkerd after considering Istio. Over a year, its mesh and dashboards helped improve mTLS security, reliability, traffic management, and operations, with acceptable setup costs and some cross-zone cost savings. |
