It's really hard to build a sustainable business around open source software so it's worth celebrating those who manage to pull it off. Congratulations to William and the entire Linkerd team.

Update distributed tracing docs to include otel by sfleen · Pull Request #1880 · linkerd/website
The docs are somewhat outdated here, as they blanket recommend OpenCensus over OpenTelemetry.
Now that OpenCensus is sunset and the proxy supports OpenTelemety, the docs have been updated to reflec...

Very different situation. Linkerd is fully open source and has been since its inception. We’ve played by the CNCF rules. If anyone wants to reduce someone else’s “stronghold” on Linkerd they just need to step up and get involved. I will never apologize for paying maintainers 💪

Is service mesh part of your disaster recovery drills? Riccardo Capraro tested 4 failure scenarios on a multi-cluster Linkerd setup. Read his blog post to learn why it should be part of your DR testing and how to improve mesh reliability → www.buoyant.io/blog/kuberne...
Linkerd Multi-Cluster Disaster Recovery Testing
We simulated control plane, cluster, zone, and region failures on a 3-cluster Linkerd mesh. See how each multicluster mode reacts and what to alert on.

We sold support. Many of those customers churned. Why? "We haven't needed it." "Linkerd just works." "We haven't had any issues."
That was the beginning of my awakening. We had built a model where making the product better made our ability to commercialize it *worse*. Death spiral.
