While I think civo are doing some pretty novel things to allow kubernetes to run cheaply for small clusters, it’s a mistake to take a vendor’s “report” at face value. It’s a press release.

Linkerd's sidecar proxy ( https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2-proxy ) is implemented in Rust. It implements transparent mTLS, HTTP load balancing, telemetry, etc. Rust gives us safety and security with a minimal res

The first release doesn't include Ingress support. This is something we plan on folding into our Routing API in an upcoming release. If you have opinions on how you'd like to see Ingress implemented, now is a great time to share

Conduit will probably have quite a bit of feature-overlap with Istio, especially, as it matures. However, I think you'll find that the projects will be quite different in the way that they prioritize features and operate. Our goals for

Like Linkerd, Envoy is a proxy that can be used used to build a service mesh. Conduit is a service mesh that includes a proxy. So, yes, Conduit uses something that competes with Envoy ;) But I would not say that Conduit and Envoy are equi

That's basically right. linkerd is a proxy that deals with a bunch of operational things like service discovery, metrics/observability, tracing, load balancing, etc. It's a proxy so that you can deploy one solution across al

Luckily GRPC can downgrade to HTTP/1.1, so if you want some of linkerd's features it isn't a total non-starter; but this is obviously less-than-desirable. We're working with the finagle team to complete finagle's n
