Overview
A look at metalbear.com
MetalBear is a fully remote company building mirrord, a Kubernetes development platform that connects developers and AI coding agents to real cloud environments. Instead of creating parallel or ephemeral environments, mirrord lets code run locally while proxying traffic, environment variables, and filesystem access to and from a real staging cluster in real time.
The platform eliminates the mismatch between local development and production by providing real APIs, real databases, real services, and real data to developers and agents from the first line of code. It works with any language, framework, or AI coding agent including Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and others.
Engineering teams at companies like monday.com, National Australia Bank, and SurveyMonkey use mirrord to iterate and ship faster while spending less on dev environment infrastructure. The company was founded in 2022 with a mission to close the gap between where code is written and where it actually runs.

- mirrord is a Kubernetes development platform that lets developers and AI coding agents test code in a production-like environment without deploying. It connects your local process to the cloud so you get real traffic, real data, and real infrastructure instantly, with your code running locally while everything it touches is routed to and from the real staging cluster.
- Is there a free version of mirrord?
- Yes. mirrord OSS is free and open source for individual developers. Team and Enterprise plans add collaboration features, an operator for shared cluster access, and support. You can start a free trial of mirrord for Teams without a credit card.
- What languages and frameworks does mirrord support?
- mirrord works with any language or framework that uses libc including Node.js, Python, Java, Kotlin, Ruby, Rust, and more. It also supports Go even though Go doesn't use libc.
- Do you offer enterprise plans?
- Yes. The Enterprise plan includes high availability, live scaling, custom SLA of 24 hours or more, mirrord for cloud AI agents, air-gapped cluster support, a dedicated support channel, onboarding, and professional services. The 7-day free trial includes all Enterprise features.
- How are seats calculated?
- Seats are calculated by monthly activity. Any user that used mirrord in a calendar month is counted towards your seat count.mirrord identifies users with a unique file it creates on the machine it runs on. If this does not represent distinct users in your organization, or if you use mirrord on cloud workers (e.g. for CI, or cloud development environments), please contact us
