Meshery is built around extension points that allow the community to deepen integrations, automate workflows, and expand cloud native management capabilities beyond the core platform. With support for 300+ integrations, Meshery's repositories are organized across two GitHub organizations:

• 🏗 github.com/meshery — Core platform: Meshery Server, Meshery Operator, MeshSync, mesheryctl, and canonical components. Governed by the core Meshery maintainers with structured release cycles and full support.
• 🔌 github.com/meshery-extensions — Community-driven extensions, adapters, plugins, and integrations. Each extension operates on its own release cycle with its own maintainers, acting as an incubator for new ideas and integrations.

This structure — inspired by Kubernetes (kubernetes-sigs), Crossplane (crossplane-contrib), and Argo (argoproj-labs) — enables the core team to stay focused while the community innovates freely. Extensions operate on independent release cycles with their own maintainers, providing a clear incubation space for new integrations and tooling.

Kanvas Visual Designer — Kanvas is a visual, collaborative designer and operator for cloud native infrastructure. Design, deploy, and manage Kubernetes and cloud native configurations using a drag-and-drop canvas experience.

Layer5 Cloud Cloud Platform — Layer5 Cloud is the hosted platform offering identity, team management, and catalog services for Meshery. Enables multi-user collaboration, organization management, and access to the Meshery Catalog.

Meshery Docker Extension Docker Extension — Extends Docker Desktop with Meshery. Allows users to deploy, manage, and visualize cloud native infrastructure directly from Docker Desktop without leaving their local development environment.

Kanvas Snapshot Helm Plugin Helm Plugin — A Helm plugin that generates a Kanvas snapshot of your Helm chart. Provides a visual preview of Kubernetes resources defined in a Helm chart, making it easier to review and share infrastructure designs.
