    Compose with Mutagen integration

  • garden

    Automation for Kubernetes development and testing. Spin up production-like environments for development, testing, and CI on demand. Use the same configuration and workflows at every step of the process. Speed up your builds and test runs via shared result caching

  • We use Mutagen for Garden's hot reloading mechanism. (Garden is a dev tool for K8s and hot reloading enables users to sync changes directly to a prod like dev environment as opposed to doing a rebuild and re-deploy).

    It's a really a fantastic piece of technology and completely transformed the whole experience (we were using good 'ol rsync before). In particular it works seamlessly across platforms.

    If anyone's interested in how we use it, it's here: https://github.com/garden-io/garden/blob/master/core/src/plu...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • mirror

    A tool for real-time, two-way sync for remote (e.g. desktop/laptop) development (by stephenh)

  • Huh! This sounds a lot like my hobby project to real-time sync files between my laptop & desktop:

    But dressed up to work with docker + "just" :-) being a professional/polished product, which is impressive. Neat!

  • okteto

    Develop your applications directly in your Kubernetes Cluster

  • Hi Jacob. I am one of the founders of Okteto (https://okteto.com/), a remote development platform for Compose and Kubernetes applications. We use Syncthing to sync code between the developer laptop and pods running in Kubernetes. I would love to know your thoughts on the strengths and weak points of Mutagen vs Syncthing for this use case.
