:balloon: Welcome to Conduit! :wave:
Conduit is an ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes from the makers of [Linkerd][l5d]. It
features a native proxy, written in [Rust][rust], that boasts the performance of C without
all the heartbleed.
Conduit is **experimental**. It is capable of proxying all TCP traffic, and reporting
top-line metrics (success rates, latencies, etc) for all HTTP, HTTP/2, and gRPC traffic.
It currently does not work with websockets or with HTTP tunneling--see the
`--skip-outbound-ports` flag for how to exclude these types of traffic.
Follow our progress towards production-readiness here and on [Twitter][twitter].
