Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Eyal, co-founder at MetalBear, and today is a big day for us! Almost two years ago we launched the mirrord OSS here on Product Hunt. Today we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our commercial offering, mirrord for Teams! 🥳
mirrord was built by a team of some very frustrated backend developers. It’s a Remocal development tool for Kubernetes, meaning it lets developers work locally while their process “thinks” it is running remotely on the cluster. This dramatically cuts down development iterations by lettings devs run, test, and debug code in the cloud directly from their IDE or CLI, without going through Docker Build, CI, and deployment for every little change. 🪞
mirrord for Teams is a secure and manageable platform built on top of mirrord OSS with extra features for collaboration and advanced use cases - all to make it incredibly simple to adopt the mirrord Remocal workflow broadly within the organization. The end state it enables is for all developers in the organization to test continuously and concurrently against the Staging environment, all without interrupting each other or affecting the cluster. Anyone who knows how difficult it is to test in the cloud at most tech organizations can immediately get what this means. ☁️

@max_savonin1 Hey Max, thanks for the feedback!
To answer your questions:
- mirrord for Teams includes a centralized component in the cluster called the mirrord Operator, which mediates the functionality of all mirrord clients. It uses the existing Kubernetes RBAC to limit what users can and can't do.
- The mirrord CLI makes it easy to integrate with CI/CD, and a lot of our users use it to speed up test suites by using an existing persistent cloud environment instead of spinning one up and down for each run.
Thanks again!
Been an early adapter of mirrord and our workflows have completely changed thanks to their team. I was looking for something like this for a while and the alternatives had many cons that stopped us from using it.
The MetalBear team had a different approach that really changed the game.
If you have a cluster, just give it a go and see how simple it is by yourself.
Already been using Mirrord for a while now, it has made my development workflow so simple that I can't go back to deploying commits. So was very happy to see this launch today :) Great work guys!
So excited for you guys! Long journey that eventually comes into an impressive product that every developer team/individual should adapt in own environment.
@maritamar Thanks! Since all the meaty stuff - proxying logic between the client and the cluster - happens at the process level, mirrord is pretty much agnostic to scale. We've seen it working in clusters with 1000s of pods without breaking a sweat 😉
@memphys_sk Thanks! mirrord for Teams includes a cluster component called the mirrord Operator which uses existing Kubernetes RBAC to allow or disallow user actions. In addition, mirrord for Teams includes a feature called mirrord Policies, where admins can manage exactly which actions users can perform with mirrord.
Hey Eyal and the MetalBear team!
Huge congratulations on the launch of mirrord for Teams! 🎉 This new platform is a significant step forward, especially with its focus on secure collaboration and advanced use cases. The ability for all developers to test continuously and concurrently without disrupting each other is a game-changer for development workflows.
Excited to see how this transforms cloud testing for tech organizations! 🚀
Super excited for the release of mirrord for teams, I love the ability to work on same environment with my teammates without blocking/overriding each other with changes even if we are working on the same service !!!
