At @gdglagos 2024, @Anita_ihuman delivered a talk on Remocal development with mirrord, showcasing how developers can make their K8s workflow smoother with the help of mirrord, leading to an improved developer experience and increased productivity. 👉 Watch the demo here:

When debugging Ruby microservices, most techniques like continuous deployment, log analysis, and remote debugging can be time-consuming, with additional overhead to your workflow Here's a guide on how to mirror traffic and environment settings from your K8s pod to your local Ruby process with ease👇

mirrord cuts iteration time by letting developers run their code against the cluster directly—without slow build, push, and deploy cycles. But here's the kicker: to really test in the cloud, your code needs to receive and send traffic back – which may alter the environment. 🤔🧵

🚀 KubeCon EU 2025 is weeks away, and we’ve been busy! 🇬🇧 We’re getting everything ready for London—demos, swag, and some exciting mirrord updates. And we’d love your input! 👉 What would you like to see from us at KubeCon? More hands-on demos? A chat with the team? Let us know in the comments!

Slow iterations, complex logs, and performance overhead are challenges that often kill developer productivity when debugging Java microservices in Kubernetes. To address these issues, we provide a guide on how to debug Java applications within a K8s context with ease. 👇🏼🧵

Tired of fighting for logs or dealing with unwanted traffic? Instead of pausing containers, mirrord now creates an exclusive pod for your session and scales down others in the deployment.
