About mirrord
mirrord is a tool that allows developers and AI coding agents to run local processes as if they were pods in a Kubernetes cluster. It routes traffic, files, and environment variables through a target pod in the cluster, providing real cluster context during development.
This enables faster feedback loops by simulating a deploy without actually deploying or disrupting the cluster. It supports both developers and AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot for testing code against live services.
mirrord is available as a VS Code extension, IntelliJ plugin, and CLI tool. It integrates with existing Kubernetes configurations and is used by companies like monday.com and SurveyMonkey.
