Case Study: Salt Security improves platform efficiency, reliability, and performance with Linkerd from CNCF
A Cloud Native Computing Foundation Case Study
Improving platform efficiency, reliability, performance in one week with Linkerd
Salt Security, a pioneer in API security, faced platform challenges related to efficiency, reliability, and performance as they grew rapidly. They experienced backward-compatibility issues with their evolving services and needed a solution for gRPC load balancing. This led them to evaluate service meshes from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
The vendor, Cloud Native Computing Foundation, provided Linkerd as the solution. Salt Security deployed it with ease, and within a week, they achieved tangible results including a 10x increase in traffic capacity. Linkerd resolved the gRPC load balancing issue and also provided critical observability, automatic encryption for all service-to-service communication, and improved platform performance and reliability.
