Scale your Kubernetes platform.
Golden metrics, mTLS, multi-cluster.
The Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd service mesh runs in production at Xbox (22,000 pods), Imagine Learning
(40% cross-zone cost cut), and IntelliGRC (4× MRR after FedRAMP).
Outcomes our customers love
4× MRR
IntelliGRC · FedRAMP
MRR grew 4× after authorization. New opportunities doubled.
40% ↓
Imagine Learning · HAZL
On track to cut regional data transfer costs by at least 40%.
22,000
Xbox · 26+ clusters
Pods on zero-config mTLS. Retired in-house observability.
97% ↓
Imagine Learning · 2024
Service-mesh-related CVE exposure dropped by 97%.
0 ↓
Tradeshift · cloud migration
Self-hosted → EKS with zero downtime via multi-cluster mesh.
Linkerd vs Istio Ambient vs Cilium Service Mesh
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd
Istio Ambient
Cilium SM
Per-request gRPC LB
FIPS 140-2 / 140-3 build
Default mTLS posture
Cross-zone reliability (HAZL)
Data plane memory safety
GA on every pod since 2018
Fully validated
Strict between every meshed pod
Reliability preserved
Rust micro-proxy
Waypoint required; ztunnel L4-only
Ambient FIPS not commonly available
PERMISSIVE by default
TAR — reliability tradeoff
C++ Envoy
Beta in v1.19
No FIPS path documented
mTLS rework history
