Key Capabilities
Everything you need to build production-grade solutions
Linkerd Implementation & Setup
Production Linkerd deployment on Kubernetes - control plane installation, data plane injection, automatic mTLS enrollment, per-route metrics, and authorization policies. A working mesh in days, not months.
mTLS & Zero-Trust Security
Linkerd enables zero-config mutual TLS for all meshed traffic. We configure workload identity, authorization policies, and certificate rotation to meet SOC2, HIPAA, or PCI compliance requirements without application changes.
Service Mesh Evaluation & Migration
Considering Linkerd vs Istio vs Cilium? Already on Istio and want something lighter? We assess your requirements, run proof-of-concept deployments, and handle migration if Linkerd is the right fit.
Linkerd Enterprise Support & SLA
Production incidents don't wait. We provide enterprise support for Linkerd in production - incident response within SLA, managed upgrades, security patching, multi-cluster troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
Our Process
A predictable process built for high-quality delivery
Assessment
We audit your current architecture - service count, communication patterns, existing networking (ingress controllers, network policies), security requirements, and team readiness. You get a written recommendation on whether Linkerd is the right fit, whether you hire us or not.
Architecture Design
Mesh topology, data plane injection strategy, mTLS rollout plan, authorization policies, observability integration, multi-cluster setup if applicable, and progressive delivery configuration. Documented for your team to review.
Implementation
Deploy Linkerd, onboard services namespace by namespace, configure authorization policies, set up Linkerd Viz with Prometheus and Grafana, implement traffic splits for canary deployments. We work in your infrastructure, with your team, using your CI/CD pipelines.
Knowledge Transfer
Runbooks, troubleshooting guides, linkerd CLI training, Viz dashboard walkthroughs, upgrade procedures. The goal: your team operates the mesh independently.
Ongoing Support (optional)
We stay on for production support, version upgrades, security patching, performance tuning, and scaling guidance. Engagement scope based on your needs.

Why Quality Matters
Poor engineering costs you
Configuration Drift
Inconsistent authorization policies across namespaces lead to security gaps and unexpected failures
Security Gaps
Running services without mTLS leaves east-west traffic vulnerable to interception
Observability Blind Spots
No per-route metrics means production issues go undetected until users report them
Knowledge Silos
Mesh setups that only one person understands create operational risk during incidents
Premium development is an investment in

Frequently Asked Questions
Linkerd is a CNCF Graduated service mesh for Kubernetes that provides automatic mutual TLS, per-route metrics (success rate, latency, throughput), retries, timeouts, and traffic splitting. You'd need consulting when your team lacks service mesh experience, when you're adopting Linkerd for the first time, or when your existing mesh deployment needs optimization or migration support.
