meshStack currently supports self-hosted runners via Docker-based agents, which is great for teams that want to run building blocks in their own infrastructure. However, we'd love to take this further and support self-hosting the
controller
itself.
The controller is what meshStack uses under the hood to orchestrate building block execution. Hosting your own controller brings several key advantages over Docker-based runners:
  • Native Kubernetes support
    — runs natively on k8s, fitting naturally into existing cluster operations
  • Parallel execution
    — can run multiple building blocks concurrently, improving throughput
  • Full implementation type support
    — supports all implementation types (Terraform, Manual, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps) out of the box, without needing to configure individual runners
This would give platform teams maximum flexibility and control over how meshStack executes building blocks in their environment.
