NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Conduit is a lightweight service mesh for Kubernetes. Conduit embraces the out-of-process architecture with data plane proxy written in Rust and a control plane in Go. The data plane proxy runs as a sidecar for all TCP traffic in the Kubernetes cluster and the control plane runs in a separate namespace in Kubernetes exposing REST APIs to control the behavior of the data plane proxy. By proxying all requests, Conduit provides a wealth of metrics for monitoring and observability of interactions in the service mesh for HTTP, HTTP/2 and gRPC traffic. Even though Conduit is relatively new to this space, we recommend it because it’s simple to install and operate.
