mirrord downloads statistics

mirrord lets developers and AI coding agents run local processes inside a live Kubernetes cluster. Your code stays on your machine, but mirrord routes its traffic, files, and environment through a target pod in the cluster. Use it to read live cluster context while writing code (real env vars, real service responses, real queue contents), and to run the code against those same services and data once it's written. You get the feedback of a deploy in seconds, without the deploy, and without disrupting the cluster for anyone else.

This plugin brings that workflow to JetBrains IntelliJ. mirrord also ships as a VS Code extension and a CLI tool. Read more in the docs, or sign up to our newsletter to hear about new features. Both the core mirrord repository and this plugin's code can be found on GitHub.

How To Use

• Click the mirrord icon in the Navigation Toolbar • Start debugging your project • Choose a pod to impersonate or choose to run in the "targetless" mode • The debugged process will be plugged into the selected pod or into the cluster environment by mirrord

Configuring mirrord for IntelliJ

mirrord allows for rich configuration of the environment it provides. The schema for it is documented here. The extension supports autocomplete for json files, but you can also use toml or yaml format.

Quick start: the easiest way to start configuring mirrord is to choose "Settings" from the dropdown menu, which will open a new mirrord.json.
