Excellent, let us know how it goes. There are a couple nice things we can provide beyond synapse: - drop-in TLS support <https://blog.buoyant.io/2016/03/24/transparent-tls-with-linkerd/> - latency-aware load balancing <https://blog.buoyant.io/2016/03/16/beyond-round-robin-load-balancing-for-latency/> - a really good metrics.json endpoint with per-client latency percentiles, etc. - Zipkin tracing emission (blog post coming soon!)
