Google Summer of Code 2021

Organization: CNCF with Layer5

As a participant of Google Summer of Code 2021, I worked with Layer5 to work on Meshery, introducing many features and rebasing a few things on the server-side. I helped with adding/enhancing a few commands in mesheryctl that helps in managing Filters, Patterns, Performance Results and Profiles, Environment checking, etc. I also set up Unit and Integration Testing for mesheryctl by testing the cobra commands with recording their expected behavior and output in multiple scenarios, stored in golden files. I worked with consolidating multiple handlers on the server side and also changing them in the whole project.

Here I have mentioned my goals and contributions!

Goals: Meshery CLI

• Adding a new command to meshery's cli tool, i.e. mesheryctl for performance profiles and result management
• Introduction of Unit Testing and Integration testing for Cobra commands of cli tool, mesheryctl.
• Introducing health-checks for environment checking of pre/post-deployment of meshery server
• Adding a new command to meshery's cli tool, i.e. mesheryctl for managing web-assembly filters

Goals: Meshery Server

• Reworking of API endpoints
• Swagger spec and docs for Rest API
  • Spec definition
  • Docs published
  • Docs auto-published

Goals: Others

• Documentation on writing Unit and Integration Tests and Contributing to Meshery Server Documentation
• Ci workflow for Swagger Documentation and running Unit and Integration Tests with calculating Code-coverage with CodeCov
