Linkerd is a service mesh for Kubernetes. It makes running services easier and safer by giving you runtime debugging, observability, reliability, and security—all without requiring any changes to your code.

In summer 2021, the company graduated from The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and is considered stable and used successfully in production. For this occasion, the company was granted a mascot by CNCF that I had the pleasure to design and integrate in the branding of Linkerd. So here is Linky the lobster!

I have been adding and updating Linky through different marketing campaigns so that the mascot is fully part of the company's visual identity.
