metalbear-co/mirrord
Run any process, on your machine or in an AI agent's environment, as if it were a pod in your Kubernetes cluster: real env vars, DNS, network, traffic.
Build with Backblaze B2
SDKs, agent skills, IDE extensions, and reference pipelines from Backblaze Labs. All open source.

Use Cases & Benefits
- Runs local processes as if they were pods inside a Kubernetes cluster, mirroring environment variables, DNS, network, and traffic.
- Enables instant feedback by running code locally with live cluster context without deploying or disrupting the cluster.
- Use for debugging Kubernetes applications locally with real cluster environment variables and network conditions.
- Use for integrating AI coding agents to run and verify generated code against live Kubernetes services seamlessly.
- Use for developing cloud-native applications with IDE plugins and CLI tools that simulate pod execution on your machine.

General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
mirrord runs your local process inside a live Kubernetes cluster. It works the same way for developers and for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf): your code runs on your machine, but mirrord routes its traffic, files, and environment variables through a target pod in the cluster.
That covers both halves of the software development loop. Read live cluster context while writing the code (real env vars, real service responses, real queue contents) so the change is grounded in what's actually deployed. Then run the code against those same services and data to confirm it works end-to-end.
You get the feedback of a deploy in seconds, without the deploy, and without disrupting the cluster for anyone else. mirrord ships as a VS Code extension, IntelliJ plugin, and CLI tool. Read more.
Adopted by: monday.com, SurveyMonkey, Cadence, CoLab, Daylight Security, Zooplus, and others.
mirrord uses your machine's default kubeconfig for access to the Kubernetes API.
