Fresh Service Mesh Updates & Linkerd Production Best Practices | Ep 54

In this episode of CloudNative.FM podcast, we talk about Linkerd and the larger Service Mesh space with William Morgan (CEO of Buoyant). We cover William’s thoughts around important concerns such as latency and cost (both in your cloud bill and in real human costs) of operating services, we talk a bit about the birth and evolution of Linkerd (including some of the design decisions such as Rust in the data plane and Go in the control plane building Linkerd), and, finally, we’ll talk about the importance of security with service meshes (and how it should be reasoned).
