appmesh 2.1.7

Client SDK for App Mesh

App Mesh: Advanced Application Management Platform

App Mesh is an open-source, multi-tenant application management platform designed for cloud-native environments. It efficiently manages, schedules, and monitors both microservices and traditional applications, offering a lightweight alternative to Kubernetes. App Mesh bridges the gap between simple process managers and complex container orchestration systems, making it ideal for organizations seeking to modernize their infrastructure without adopting full container-native complexity. Supporting both containerized and native applications, it provides a versatile solution for diverse enterprise needs.

Features

Feature	Description
Application management (Advanced systemd)	🧩 Application Management (CURD) with Full Remote Control – including cgroup, OS user, environment variables, Docker, stdin, and stdout – along with comprehensive monitoring (start counts, exit codes, error messages, health checks). 🧩 Fine-Grained Application Behavior Control & Scheduling – supports long- and short-running tasks, periodic jobs, cron schedules, custom timings, and robust error handling. 🧩 Multi-Tenancy – built-in user ownership model and access controls. 🧩 Unified Access Interface – interact via CLI, REST, SDK or WebGUI.
