## What it is
Meshery is an open-source, self-service engineering platform for collaboratively designing, deploying, and managing Kubernetes and cloud native infrastructure. It provides a web-based UI, REST and GraphQL APIs, a CLI (mesheryctl), and pluggable gRPC adapters to manage multi-cluster environments, infrastructure designs, and performance testing.

## Use cases
- manage multiple kubernetes clusters from one console
- visually design and deploy kubernetes infrastructure
- build an internal developer platform
- apply cloud native design patterns to infrastructure config
- benchmark and profile service mesh performance
- import and export declarative infrastructure designs
- organize team collaboration and access control for cloud resources

## When to choose
- you need multi-cluster, multi-cloud management with a visual designer
- you want an extensible platform with REST/GraphQL APIs and gRPC adapters as an IDP foundation
- you need collaborative, declarative configuration management for Kubernetes

## When to avoid
- you only need simple single-cluster kubectl workflows
- you want a lightweight CLI-only tool without a web UI
- you need a fully managed SaaS rather than self-hosted infrastructure
