Meshery
Meshery is a cloud native management plane used for the orchestration and administration of service meshes and Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers. It provides a centralized interface to configure cloud native components and manage infrastructure through a unified abstraction layer.
The platform features a visual infrastructure modeler that translates diagrams into manifests and a simulation engine for dry-running configuration changes. It synchronizes infrastructure state with version control via GitOps workflows, providing visual previews of pull request changes to evaluate impact before deployment.
The system includes capabilities for performance benchmarking, latency and throughput visualization, and the enforcement of context-aware configuration policies. It supports multi-tenant isolation through role-based access controls and provides a plugin architecture to extend platform functionality with custom adapters and logic.
The project utilizes a curated catalog of design templates to install pre-configured infrastructure patterns and industry-best-practice designs.
