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.

Meshery, the extensible cloud native management platform, has achieved a remarkable milestone: recognition as the sixth highest-velocity project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This accomplishment is impressive for any project, but especially noteworthy given Meshery’s Sandbox maturity level and its position among 237 CNCF projects! Just six months ago, we celebrated reaching the ninth spot in our April 2025 announcement. Climbing three ranks in such a short time underscores the project’s accelerating momentum and the unwavering dedication of our global community.

Introducing new mesheryctl commands that enhance organization and workspace management capabilities. These commands empower users to efficiently manage their Meshery organizations and workspaces directly from the command line.

You want to create a test for a new or existing Meshery command? Good. This tutorial explains how to do so. In this tutorial, we will introduce mesheryctl end-to-end testing using Bash Automating Testing System (BATS).
