Hey, one of the creators or mirrord here. The technology behind mirrord is actually agnostic - what it does is wrap a local process and "proxy" it's API calls to a remote environment and remote traffic is also mirrored from there. We tailored the solution for K8S to provide seamless experience, but if there's a need for another orchestration solution, we can consider adding support :)

Forgive my ignorance, web et al is not my specialty, but how does this work with HTTPS traffic? Do you install a root cert in the dev environment like Wireshark to be able to mirror agnostically? Or does there need to be application config (DNS change, internal routing changes) to make this work? If the latter, what's the value add here?

Our agent sniffs traffic in the same network namespace as the pod whose incoming traffic we mirror, so in most cases that would be after the HTTPS traffic is decrypted (by e.g. a load balancer, or a service mesh)
