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.

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.
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.
Leverage built-in relationships to enforce configuration best practices consistently from code to Kubernetes. Configure your infrastructure with confidence without needing to know or write Open Policy Agent's Rego query language.
Meshery uses 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.
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 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.
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.
Assess your configurations against deployment and operational best practices with Meshery's configuration validator.
Whether managing multiple Meshery deployments, importing designs, discoverying Kubernetes clusters, do so with ease using Meshery CLI in your terminal.
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.
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
Create and reuse performance profiles for consistent characterization of the configuration of your infrastructure in context of how it performs.
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.
Meshery offers load generation and performance characterization to help you assess and optimize the performance of your applications and infrastructure. Here's how it works:
- Multiple Load Generators: Meshery supports various load generators, including Fortio, Wrk2, and Nighthawk, allowing users to choose the tool that best suits your needs.
- Configurable Performance Profiles: Meshery provides a highly configurable set of load profiles with tunable facets, enabling users to generate TCP, gRPC, and HTTP load. You can customize parameters such as duration, concurrent threads, concurrent generators, and load generator type. Save your load test configurations as Performance Profiles, making it easy to rerun tests with the same settings and track performance variations over time.
- Metrics Collection: Meshery can connect to one or more Prometheus instances to gather telemetric data, including Kubernetes and application metrics. It also integrates with Grafana, allowing users to import existing dashboards and visualize performance data.
- Statistical Analysis: Meshery performs statistical analysis on the results of performance tests, presenting data in the form of histograms with latency buckets. This helps users understand the distribution of response times and identify potential bottlenecks.
- Performance Test Profiles: Meshery allows users to customize and save their load test configuration in the form of a Performance Test Profile. This enables users to easily return to Meshery to run the same set of customized tests again and again, tracking variations in performance over time. Comparison of Test Results: Meshery enables users to compare the difference in request performance (latency and throughput) between independent performance tests.
- Kubernetes Cluster and Workload Metrics: Meshery provides performance test results alongside environment metrics, including control and data plane metrics as well as cluster node resource metrics, so that operators may easily understand the overhead of their control plane and data plane in context of the overhead incurred on nodes within the cluster.
In an effort to produce infrastructure agnostic tooling, Meshery uses the Cloud Native Performance specification as a common format to capture and measure your infrastructure's performance against a universal cloud native performance index. Meshery participates in advancing cloud native infrastructure adoption through the standardization of APIs. Meshery enables you to measure the value provided by Docker, Kubernetes, or a service mesh in the context of the overhead incurred.

You may deploy Meshery internal to your cluster or external to your cluster.
Meshery runs as a set of containers inside or outside of your Kubernetes clusters.
