Layer5, expect more from your infrastructure

If you’re using Layer5 products or if you like the project, please ★ this repository to show your support! 🤩

About Layer5

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 the open source, cloud native management plane that enables the adoption, operation, and management of Kubernetes, any service mesh, and their workloads.

Service Mesh Pattern

Service Mesh Patterns help you get the most out of Linkerd, Consul, App Mesh, Istio, Kuma, Open Service Mesh, or any service mesh, including those using Envoy and use of WebAssembly. Each pattern can be used as a template and is customizable.

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.

Service Mesh Performance

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

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.

Meshery Operator

Meshery Operator deploys and manages MeshSync.

Learn Layer5

Learn Layer5 is a sample application for learning how service meshes work which also provides SMI Conformance testing.

Service Mesh Interface Conformance

SMI Conformance includes all service mesh projects participating in the Service Mesh Interface specification. It is an easy-to-use, service mesh and SMI-specific tool to give service mesh projects and users a suite of repeatable conformance tests.

Nighthawk

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 service meshes and their workloads.
