Lapdev is a platform that creates production-accurate development environments for Kubernetes apps by reading existing cluster manifests and building reusable App Catalogs. It includes an in-cluster operator (lapdev-kube-manager), a SaaS control plane, and a Devbox CLI for routing cluster traffic to a developer's laptop for local debugging.
Use cases
- spin up isolated dev environments from production kubernetes manifests
- debug a kubernetes service locally while staying connected to cluster dependencies
- give every developer a personal namespace synced with production
- share secure preview URLs for services without ingress or DNS setup
- keep branch environments in sync with production config changes
- replace manual YAML copies of deployments and configmaps for dev environments
When to choose
- your team runs microservices on Kubernetes and local development is painful or incomplete
- you want environments derived automatically from production manifests instead of duplicated YAML
- you need per-developer or branch environments with traffic routing and preview URLs
- you want a Telepresence-like local debugging workflow with environment management on top
When to avoid
- you don't deploy to Kubernetes or run only simple single-service apps
- you require a fully self-hosted solution with no SaaS control plane dependency
- you need a mature, GA product with long-term pricing commitments (currently public beta)
- your organization prohibits outbound tunnels to third-party services
