Linkerd Patterns
Production-ready Linkerd configurations that actually work in the real world. Covers automatic mTLS injection, ServiceProfile setup for per-route retries, TrafficSplit for canary deployments, and ServerAuthorization policies for zero-trust networking. Includes the debugging commands you'll actually need when things go sideways, like proxy status checks and live traffic tapping. The multi-cluster setup is solid if you're running distributed services. Unlike Istio, Linkerd's lightweight approach means you won't spend weeks fighting configuration drift. Best for teams that want service mesh benefits without the operational complexity.
