mirrord runs any process, on a developer's machine or in an AI agent's environment, as if it were a pod in a remote Kubernetes cluster: real env vars, DNS, network, and inbound traffic. Engineers and coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex) iterate on a service against the cluster's real services from the first line of code, without deploying.
