Mesher
A service mesh implementation based on go chassis.
Why use mesher
- any infrastructure: if you use ServiceComb as control plane, you can run on any infrastructure(docker, kubernetes,VM, bare metal).
- service mesh and frameworks:
you can develop micro services with java chassis or go chassis frameworks
and use mesher to make other service join to the same system. - flexible: you can develop and customize your own service mesh
- OS: support both linux and windows OS, which means you can govern your services writen in .net with java, go etc.
- API gateway: mesher is able to run as a independent edge service and manage ingress traffic.
Features
- Build on top of go micro service framework: so that mesher has all of features of
go chassis,a high flexible go micro service framework.
you can custom your own service mesh and API gateway by extending lots of components. - Admin API：Listen on an isolated port, expose useful runtime information and metrics.
- support protocols: http and grpc
- No IP tables forwarding: Mesher leverage
http_proxy
and grpc proxy dialer,
that makes better performance than using ip tables - local health check: as a sidecar, mesher is able to check local service health by policy
and dynamically remove it from service registry if service is unavailable.

RoadMap
1.7.0
- mesher ingress: mesher as a edge service to manage ingress traffic

in future
- support skywalking
