The Meshery ecosystem is full of focused tools that make designing and visualizing cloud native infrastructure easier. One of them, the Shape Builder extension, is looking for contributors who want to take ownership of a meaningful, standalone project and grow into maintainers. This post spotlights what Shape Builder does, where it stands today, and exactly where the project needs help.

Today, at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, the Meshery maintainers are proud to announce the general availability of Meshery v1.0 - the extensible cloud native management platform that has become the governance layer the cloud native stack has long been missing.

If you are managing cloud-native infrastructure with Meshery, understanding how your components interact is critical. This post walks you through the mesheryctl relationship commands and celebrates an important milestone: their officially graduated from experimental mode.

In modern cloud-native environments, platform engineering teams face a persistent challenge: how do you enable multiple teams to collaborate on infrastructure designs, share best practices, and maintain consistency across diverse deployment environments—all while preserving team autonomy and security boundaries?

The launch of the Certified Meshery Contributor (CMC) certification marked an important milestone for the Meshery project — the first CNCF certification of its kind - designed to uplevel and validate the skills of contributors, who are actively shaping the Meshery ecosystem through real, hands-on open source work. Following the announcement, contributors from across the community stepped forward to take the CMC and share their journey. In this post, Certified Meshery Contributors talk about what the certification was really like, what they learned along the way, and why they believe the CMC is worth pursuing.

Meshery’s high project velocity necessitates a revision in its governance and organizational structure to align with the scale of its growing complexity and community contributions. To best serve its expansive ecosystem, Meshery maintainers have opted to partition its numerous GitHub repositories into two distinct organizations: Meshery for the core platform and Meshery Extensions for extensions.
