Review on linkerd by Mondreka Rosenhoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy and fast way to get started quickly even if coming fresh

I like how easy it was for me as an engineer with no previous experience in distributed systems or microservices/containers (at least not at this level) - just docker compose up my stack of services using their example templates! The only downside so far has been figuring out what all these different tools do exactly when you're new into them but once figured things are great :) Really enjoyed working through each step together during our first sprints where we were building some simple prototypes within minutes instead weeks before :). We've solved most problems related to scaling by simply adding more servers which works well enough until your problem requires something else than "more". With Linkerd however now there's much less need for manual orchestration between containers since everything can be configured from one place without having multiple scripts running around manually configuring stuff everywhere across clusters etc..
