The MetalBear team has landed in Amsterdam and we're all ready for #KubeCon week! You'll find the crew at booth 1160. Here's what we've got going on: 🇳🇱 Stop by booth 1160 to chat about mirrord, developer experience, or just to trade Kubernetes war stories. While you're at it, grab some of our special Amsterdam-themed swag! ⛳ This year we have not one but two booths — come to booth 580 to take part in our mini golf game for a chance to win both retro and modern gaming consoles. 🍸 Join us for our happy hour on Tuesday, 24/03, at 7PM, co-organized with friends from Backstage by @Spotify, @rootlyhq, @cloudsmith, and more!

“We are not pushing them to use mirrord. Everyone is asking for it.” This is what Netanel Abergel, Director of R&D at @mondaydotcom, had to say about mirrord. Read the full case study to learn the impact mirrord has had at monday.com, including: ⚡ Environment setup in 10 seconds (down from 30 minutes) 🚀 New developer onboarding in ~1 hour (down from 3–5 days) 💸 $0 cloud cost for dev environments (eliminated entirely) 👩‍💻 245+ engineers developing on a single shared cluster See how monday.com improved developer velocity with mirrord 👇 metalbear.com/mirrord/case-s…

Whether you’re adopting a paid product or a free open-source project, developer tools always come with a cost, and without a clear way to think about ROI, it can be difficult to justify these investments! Read our latest blog to learn about different frameworks you can use to measure the ROI of developer tools: metalbear.com/blog/roi-devto…

Is it just me, or is Claude @claudeai login acting up? 🤔

We just launched mirrord Agent Skills 🤖 It's a collection of skills that let AI coding agents work with mirrord, including generating and validating mirrord.json configs, setting up the mirrord operator in clusters, configuring mirrord in CI pipelines, and enabling isolated database branching for safe Kubernetes development. Once installed, the agent automatically knows how to use mirrord when you ask things like "create a mirrord config to steal traffic" or "set up mirrord in my CI pipeline". Try out the mirrord Agent Skills by running: `npx skills add metalbear-co/skills` Read the docs here: github.com/metalbear-co/s…

Traditional CI pipelines slow developers down because every run involves building container images, deploying them, and often spinning up ephemeral environments that are costly and slow to become ready. mirrord for CI changes this by running your changed microservice directly inside the CI runner while connecting it to an existing, real Kubernetes environment, like staging or pre-prod. Incoming and outgoing traffic, environment variables, and files are all proxied, so your tests behave as if they’re running in the cloud, without building images or deploying anything.

@pavangudiwada_ This is super helpful Pavan, nice one!

Built jobresources.fyi to save us all time while job hunting. It's open source, too!

@pavangudiwada_ That's the way man, keep at it. You'll get there

@jakepage91 This is totally relatable... I've been starting to build small things, but it isn't enough to get where I want to go. Right now I'm learning Typescript + React by building an API with auth and a frontend that consumes data from it.

Just a public note to self. Put more skin in the game. @jake.page91/skin-in-the-game-780e48b076ca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jake.page91/s…

2025 was a great year for us! We hit some really “cool” milestones, grew our customer base and team significantly, and shipped major improvements to mirrord! A huge thanks to the #mirrord community and users for all the support. We have big plans for 2026, stay tuned 😄 Happy holidays!

Starting your role as a DevEx Engineer in a new organization can be overwhelming. We put together a three-phase guide on what you should focus on in your first 30 days to set yourself up for success! Read here: metalbear.com/blog/devex-eng…

Recently, we released the DB Branching feature for mirrord! This feature lets developers create a temporary, isolated branch of their database that mirrors the main one but remains completely separate. It gives teams a safe way to test migrations and schema changes without risking the shared database. Read our latest blog to learn more and follow a step-by-step guide on how to try it out: metalbear.com/blog/db-branch…

We just published a blog about our experience building an onboarding flow for our product using @lovable. It’s an honest look at what worked, what didn’t, and what it’s really like using AI for product design today. Read here: metalbear.com/blog/prod-desi…

Recently we hit a tricky Terraform schema bug in the mirrord Operator. What impressed us most wasn’t just that @claudeai fixed it, but how it wrote its own debugging script to help understand the problem! Read the blog to learn more how it all unfolded: metalbear.com/blog/claude-ex…

This is why we're building wasp.sh - a new, truly full-stack framework. Devs want Rails/Laravel experience for JS, but all the attempts so far have failed b/c either the timing was wrong, or the core team gave up (lost motivation, no money). We've been pushing for almost five years and raised >$5M to have serious folks work FT on it. We're getting there, commit by commit.

@MatijaSosic @_cprecioso I don't work on it and I also say it's amazing!

@_cprecioso you just say that because you work on it
