Meshery is the cloud native management plane offering lifecycle, configuration, and performance management of Kubernetes, service meshes, and your workloads.

MESHERY IS A CLOUD NATIVE COMPUTING FOUNDATION PROJECT

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 -

See the quick start guide.

Functionality

Cloud Native Lifecycle Management

Meshery manages the provisioning, configuration and operation your Kubernetes clusters, workloads, and service meshes. While supporting hundreds of different type so cloud native infrastructure integrations, Meshery also offers a [catalog of curated design templates](https://meshery.io/catalog) filled with configuration best practices.

Using a GitOps-centric approach, visually and collaboratively design and manage your infrastructure and microservices. Use Meshery to interoperate your various cloud native systems. With both REST and GraphQL APIs, integrating with Meshery as an extensible platform is facilitated through NATS, CloudEvents, gRPC, Service Mesh Interface (SMI), and Service Mesh Performance (SMP).

Kubernetes and Cloud Native Configuration Management

Assess your cloud native infrastructure configuration against deployment and operational best practices with Meshery's configuration validator. Onboard your workload onto the service mesh with confidence. Check your Kubernetes configuration for anti-patterns and avoid common pitfalls.

Adhering to Cloud Native Standards

In an effort to produce service mesh agnostic tooling, Meshery uses the [service mesh performance](https://smp-spec.io) as a common format to capture and measure your mesh's performance against a universal service mesh performance index. As a partner of VMware's Multi-Vendor Service Mesh Interoperation (Hamlet) and Service Mesh Interface (SMI), Meshery participates in advancing service mesh 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.

Conforming to Service Mesh Interface (SMI)

Meshery provides tooling to validate any service mesh that claims to implement and conform to SMI specifications. Working in accordance with the SMI Conformance project, it essentially provides:

✔︎ Defines compliant behavior.
✔︎ Produces compatibility matrix.
✔︎ Ensures provenance of results.
✔︎ Runs a set of conformance tests.
✔︎ Built into the participating service mesh’s release pipeline.
✔︎ Provides Learn Layer5 sample application used for validating test assertions.

Manage data plane intelligence with WebAssembly filters

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