Blazingly-fast, rock-solid, local application development with Kubernetes.

The Problem

Building and pushing containers to test them in Kubernetes is repetitive and time-consuming. Writing and debugging code that depends on services in Kubernetes is daunting. Especially if they are not reachable during development.

The Solution

Gefyra runs local code in any Kubernetes cluster without the build and push cycle. It overlays containers in the cluster making code changes immediately available. It's a new era of software development.



Why Gefyra?

Gefyra Usecases

Kubernetes as Development Platform

Local containers on board! If you want to use Kubernetes as your development platform, Gefyra is the right tool for you. It enables you to run your code in Kubernetes without the need to build and push containers. Gefyra overlays the container in Kubernetes with your local container. Instantly see the effects of your code changes in Kubernetes.

The highest possible development velocity is achieved by using Gefyra in combination with a local or remote Kubernetes cluster.

Shared Kubernetes-based Resources

Suppose you are working on a feature that requires collaboration with other team members, such as frontend developers, backend engineers, and database administrators. With Gefyra, you can create a shared environment accessible to the entire team.

Each team member can work on their respective components while having shared resources available (for example a large database). Gefyra enables you to share your local code with your team and collaborate on a shared environment.
