Buoyant is the creator of open-source service mesh Linkerd (https://linkerd.io).
Created in 2016, Linkerd powers production infrastructure at companies around
the globe, including Salesforce, Credit Karma, Expedia, BigCommerce, and PayPal.
It is the provider of open-source tools for developers, operators, and
enterprises to operate their Kubernetes and cloud native applications safely and
reliably.

The company was seeking a complete overhaul to address functionality changes
that offered an improved user experience. We collaborated closely with CEO,
William Morgan, and Buoyant's marketing department to develop an innovative new
website based on the static page generator [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) and the
content management platform [Forestry](https://forestry.io). Testing and
deployment was done through [Netlify](https://netlify.com).
