Then I tried mirrord and it was flawless. It does everything I liked about Telepresence but better.

The key improvement was that debugging a process locally, using familiar tools like IntelliJ, made it much easier to handle egress traffic.

mirrord abstracts away the complexities for developers who may not have deep knowledge of Kubernetes or the networking stack

Debugging a service became much faster and easier.

[mirrord] has significantly improved our development experience, making the team happier and more efficient.

We are using mirrord... to debug issues and test local changes, in our shared staging environment, without impacting other developers.

Instead of asking every developer to create and fill a local environment, we have a single large remote one that is used by everyone.

[With mirrord] the service is running locally (fast iterations) but still receives all the cluster access including databases, credentials, configuration.
