MESHERY IS A CLOUD NATIVE COMPUTING FOUNDATION PROJECT

A self-service engineering platform, Meshery, is the open source, cloud native manager that enables the design and management of all Kubernetes-based infrastructure and applications (multi-cloud). Among other features, As an extensible platform, Meshery offers visual and collaborative GitOps, freeing you from the chains of YAML while managing Kubernetes multi-cluster deployments.

Example extension. See other Meshery Extensions.

Functionality

Cloud Native Lifecycle Management

Meshery manages the provisioning, configuration and operation of your Kubernetes clusters while supporting hundreds of different types of cloud native infrastructure integrations. Meshery also offers a catalog of curated design templates filled with configuration best practices.

Using a GitOps-centric approach, visually and collaboratively design and manage your infrastructure and microservices. Extend Meshery as your self-service engineering platform by taking advantage of its vast set of extensibility features, including gRPC adapters, hot-loadable Reactjs packages and Golang plugins, subscriptions on NATS topics, consumable and extendable API interfaces via REST and GraphQL.

Multi-Cluster Kubernetes, Multi-Cloud, and Cloud Native Configuration Management

Meshery supports 300+ integrations.

Assess your cloud native infrastructure configuration against deployment and operational best practices with Meshery's configuration validator. Manage your workloads with confidence. Check your Kubernetes configuration for anti-patterns and avoid common pitfalls.

Context-Aware Policies For Applications

Leverage built-in relationships to enforce configuration best practices consistently from code to Kubernetes. Enhance development process by building custom rules in Open Policy Agent's Rego query language.

Manage data plane intelligence with WebAssembly filters

Dynamically load and manage your own WebAssembly filters in Envoy-based service meshes.

See Image Hub.

Visually and collaboratively manage your infrastructure

Meshery uses [relationships](https://docs.meshery.io/concepts/logical/relationships) to define how and when components interrelate with one another. Meshery supports a variety of relationships between components. These relationships are categorized into two types: semantic and non-semantic.

Manage your connections with Environments

[Environments](https://docs.meshery.io/concepts/logical/environments) make it easier for you to manage, share, and work with a collection of resources as a group, instead of dealing with all your Connections and Credentials on an individual basis.

Workspaces: Your team's Google Drive for cloud native projects

Workspaces let you organize your work and serve as the central point of collaboration for you and your teams and point of access control to Environments and their resources.

Manage infra performance with Performance Profiles

Create and reuse performance profiles for consistent characterization of the configuration of your infrastructure in context of how it performs.

See changes to your infra before you merge

Get snapshots of your infrastructure directly in your PRs. Preview your deployment, view changes pull request-to-pull request and get infrastructure snapshots within your PRs by connecting Kanvas to your GitHub repositories.

Operate with configuration best practices

Assess your configurations against deployment and operational best practices with Meshery's configuration validator.

Control all of your infrastructure with mesheryctl

Whether managing multiple Meshery deployments, importing designs, discoverying Kubernetes clusters, do so with ease using Meshery CLI in your terminal.

Access the Cloud Native Patterns for Kubernetes

Design and manage all of your cloud native infrastructure using the design configurator in Meshery or start from a template using the patterns from the [catalog](https://meshery.io/catalog).

Manage the performance of your infrastructure and its workloads

Baseline and track your cloud native performance from release to release.

• Use performance profiles to track the historical performance of your workloads.
• Track your application performance from version to version.
• Understand behavioral differences between cloud native network functions.
• Compare performance across infrastructure deployments.

Platform Engineering with Meshery's Extension Points

Meshery includes both REST APIs and GraphQL APIs, pluggable adapters via gRPCs, hot-loadable ReactJS and hot-loadable Golang binaries. The great number of extension points in Meshery make it ideal as the foundation of your internal developer platform.

Performance Management

Adhering to Cloud Native Standards

In an effort to produce service mesh agnostic tooling, Meshery uses the Service Mesh Performance specification as a common format to capture and measure your infrastructure's performance against a universal cloud native performance index. As an implementation of Service Mesh Interface (SMI), Meshery participates in advancing cloud native infrastructure adoption through the standardization of APIs.

Standardized Cloud Native Performance Management

Meshery is the cloud native utility for uniformly managing the performance of microservices and the infrastructure that run them. As an implementation of the Service Mesh Performance (SMP), Meshery enables you to measure the value provided by Docker, Kubernetes, or a service mesh in the context of the overhead incurred.

Meshery Architecture

You may deploy Meshery internal to your cluster or external to your cluster.

Learn more about Meshery's architecture.

Get Started with Meshery

Using `mesheryctl`

Meshery runs as a set of containers inside or outside of your Kubernetes clusters.

curl -L https://meshery.io/install | bash -
