The ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes

🎈 Welcome to Conduit! 👋

Conduit is an ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes from the makers of Linkerd. It features a native proxy, written in Rust, that boasts the performance of C without all the heartbleed.

Conduit is experimental. Currently, it only supports HTTP/2 and is especially well-suited for gRPC. Follow our progress towards production-readiness here and on Twitter.
