About MetalBear, in one paragraph

Written to be pasted at the bottom of an article without editing.

Standard boilerplate

MetalBear builds mirrord, the developer infrastructure that connects engineers and AI coding agents to a real Kubernetes environment. An agent that cannot see the real system has to guess, and a wrong guess costs far more than a developer rerunning a test. mirrord runs code against the real cluster from the first line, with real traffic, real data and real dependencies, without deploying it and without standing up a separate environment for every developer and every agent. Engineering organizations including monday.com, SurveyMonkey, Personio and Mercari run mirrord across their teams. It ships as open source and as mirrord for Teams, the commercial platform for organizations sharing one cluster at scale. MetalBear was founded in 2022 and is fully remote.
