Meshery is a the multi-service mesh management plane offering lifecycle, configuration and performance management of service meshes and applications running atop them.

In an effort to produce service mesh agnostic tooling, Meshery uses a common performance benchmark specification to capture and share environment information and test configuration. As a partner of Multi-Vendor Service Mesh Interoperation (Hamlet) and Service Mesh Interface (SMI), Meshery participates in advancing service mesh adoption through standardization of APIs.

Functionality

Multi-mesh Performance Management

Meshery is intended to be a vendor and project-neutral utility for uniformly benchmarking the performance of service meshes. Between service mesh and proxy projects (and surprisingly, within a single project), a number of different tools and results exist.

Multi-mesh Lifecycle Management

A service mesh playground to faciliate learning about functionality of different service meshes. Meshery incorporates a visual interface for manipulating traffic routing rules. Sample applications will be included in Meshery.

Running Meshery

Mac or Linux (Docker)

Install Meshery on your Mac or Linux machine running Docker using bash or brew by executing either of the following commands.

Using Bash

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

Using Brew

brew tap layer5io/tap
brew install mesheryctl
mesheryctl start

Windows

Download and unzip mesheryctl from the Meshery releases page. Add mesheryctl to your PATH for ease of use. Then, execute:

./mesheryctl start

Upon starting Meshery successfully, instructions to access Meshery will be printed on the sceen.

Kubernetes

Using Kubernetes, install Meshery on your cluster by cloning the Meshery repo and applying environment-appropriate manifests:

git clone https://github.com/layer5io/meshery.git; cd meshery

kubectl create ns meshery
kubectl -n meshery apply -f deployment_yamls/k8s

See the project site for quick start instructions and project documentation for a complete set of Meshery documentation.
