Getting Started with Kong Mesh

Kong Mesh — built on top of CNCF’s Kuma and Envoy — tries to be as close as possible to the usage of Kuma itself, while providing drop-in binary replacements for both the control plane and data plane executables.

You can download the Kong Mesh binaries from the official installation page.

Kuma, a donated CNCF project, was originally created by Kong, which is currently maintaining both the project and the documentation.
