#2Not sure about this one yet - some benefits, but not really massive traction. I don’t clearly see the benefits (although latency-sensitive internal loadbalancing seems quite neat), but it’s yet-another proxy in the neverending proxying of proxies within K8S already.

Hi, from what I read the linkerd proxy allow to supervise response stats (latency, error rate). In kubernetes you didn't have global proxy stats. It's a circuit breaker and you can connect with other service with different protocols (http,rpc) without have to know what protocol other service use. I didn't have tested linkerd yet but I noticed this points. I think it's really useful when you have micro services

I think it'd be nice to see the functionality of linkerd merged into k8s.

#6The killer application of linkerd is kubernetes, where a lot of people are using linkerd to get around using Kubernetes "Services". I think the Ingress controllers talk directly to Linkerd.
I have requested for L4 support in Linkerd that will finally make it possible for Linkerd to actually become an ingress + Service abstraction.

#7Howdy, Linkerd person here. Always nice to have a surprise Hacker News frontpage post! Please let me know if you have any questions. We also have a very active Slack at slack.linkerd.io. Hop on in and say hello.

#8We are using Linkerd at NextVR and we are where happy it's L5 routing and other features. Soon are looking forward to integrate Zipkin with GCE tracer.

Op, mind telling us why people are using linkerd to get around using Kubernetes "Services" ?

#10We're using Linkerd and Helium along with DCOS/Mesos at ForeSee - We're super happy with the technology and we look forward seeing Linkerd supporting more protocols.
