Ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes

🎈 Welcome to Conduit! 👋

Conduit is an ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes. It features a minimalist control plane written in Go, and a native proxy data plane written in Rust that boasts the performance of C without the heartbleed.

Conduit is alpha. It is capable of proxying all TCP traffic, and reporting top-line metrics (success rates, latencies, etc) for all HTTP, HTTP/2, and gRPC traffic. It currently does not work with websockets or with HTTP tunneling--see the --skip-outbound-ports flag for how to exclude these types of traffic.
