MetalBear

Founded 2022

Connect local code directly to a live Kubernetes cluster for testing and debugging

Pricing model

Free Trial

You can use mirrord to connect your local development process directly to a shared Kubernetes cluster without deploying code or waiting for CI builds. It lets developers and coding agents run tests, trigger traffic, and debug against live services, remote databases, and real APIs right from your terminal or IDE. You can split traffic queues and branch databases to prevent conflicts with teammates. This eliminates the overhead of managing isolated staging environments while giving you fast, accurate feedback on every change.

What MetalBear does

Mirror incoming cluster traffic to local processesBranch staging databases for isolated local testingConnect AI agents to Kubernetes staging environmentsDebug microservices using local breakpoints and live cluster stateRun integration tests against real cloud infrastructureRoute queue messages to local dev instancesFilter staging traffic using custom HTTP headersRun local processes against real Kubernetes staging clusters without deployingIntercept and route cluster network traffic directly to your machineIsolate staging sessions with database branching and queue splittingIntegrate directly with code editors and terminal environmentsTest changes against live third-party APIs and microservicesConnect AI coding agents to live cloud environments for autonomous testingShare a single staging cluster across multiple engineers without collision
