Layer5's cloud native application and infrastructure management software enables organizations to expect more from their infrastructure. We embrace developer-defined infrastructure. We empower developers to change how they write applications, support operators in rethinking how they run modern infrastructure, and enable product owners to regain full-control over their product portfolio.

Projects

Meshery

Meshery is a self-service engineering platform that enables collaborative design and operation of cloud and cloud native infrastructure.

Kanvas

Use Kanvas to drag-and-drop your cloud native infrastructure using a palette of thousands of versioned Kubernetes components. Say goodbye to YAML configurations.

Cloud Native Patterns

Cloud Native Patterns help you get the most out of Kubernetes or any CNCF project, including those using Envoy and use of WebAssembly. Each pattern can be used as a template and is customizable.

Meshery Catalog

The Meshery Catalog functions much like a cloud marketplace, providing a user-friendly interface for browsing, discovering, and sharing configurations and patterns for cloud native infrastructure. With Meshery Catalog, you can easily find and deploy Kubernetes-based infrastructure and tools, making it easy to streamline your cloud native development and operations processes.

Cloud Native Performance

The Cloud Native Performance (SMP) is a vendor-neutral specification for capturing details of environment and infrastructure details, cloud native infrastructure and its configuration, service / application details, and bundling of statistical analysis of results.

GetNightHawk

Nighthawk is a Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2) performance characterization tool. Nighthawk is Envoy’s load generator and is written in C++. Meshery integrates Nighthawk as one of (currently) three choices of load generator for characterizing and managing the performance of cloud native infrastructure and their workloads.

Meshery Operator

Meshery Operator is the multi-cluster Kubernetes operator and implementation of MeshSync.

Image Hub

Image Hub is a demo application which runs on Consul and facilitates exploring WebAssembly modules used as Envoy Filters. Image Hub supports Envoy-based data planes. It is compatible with and can be deployed on Istio and Consul service meshes.

Service Mesh Landscape

The Service Mesh Landscape is a comprehensive collection of prominent service mesh projects and offerings laid out in contrast to one another.
