It's a Multi-Mesh World

" summary

Service meshes proliferate and three open specs aim to tame them: SMI for a lowest-common-denominator API, SMPS for repeatable performance benchmarks, and Hamlet for exchanging service catalogs. Meshery is the canonical SMPS implementation and automates deployment of eight different meshes, runs a sample app, generates load, measures CPU/memory/latency/throughput, and asserts SMI conformance so teams can compare overhead across 20+ meshes, evaluate WebAssembly filters, and choose sidecar or node-agent models.
