# App Mesh

App Mesh is a `Multi-Tenant`, `Cloud Native`, `Micro Service` application management platform, used to manage, schedule and monitor applications. Each app can be a specific microservice for service discovery or a normal app with replication, the app-mesh will guarantee all defined applications run on time with defined behavior and resource requests. The platform can run in standalone or cluster mode, and provide REST APIs, command-line and web-ui.

App Mesh is similar to Kubernetes but much more lightweight, supporting both container apps and native apps.

## Features

Feature | Description
---|---
Application management | 1. Manage independent applications and guard the process running, similar with systemd but more flexible (long/short running, periodic long running, cron schedule, customized day time and error handling control) and comprehensive monitoring (number of starts, return code, error message, health-check) for both native and docker application. <br> 2. Use SDK/CLI run application on a remote host with sync/async mode and fetch result to client. <br> 3. Full control of application lifecycle (cgroup for resource limitation, specific OS user for execution user). <br> 4. Interactive application start support specify input data by pipe and environment variables.<br> 5. All functionality provides by [CLI](https://app-mesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/CLI.html), [REST](https://app-mesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Development.html#rest-apis), [SDK](https://github.com/laoshanxi/app-mesh/tree/main/src/sdk) and [WebGUI](https://github.com/laoshanxi/app-mesh-ui) interface.<br>
