There is definitely a place for a company focusing on dev workflows for web apps.

This project from the list is very cool:

https://github.com/vapor-ware/ksync

But it should be even simpler then that, with full integration of npm and python dev cycles to create a full illusion of localhost development but in a fully controlled reproducible environment where every prod service can be swapped for dev version of it, iterated quickly and then committed.

Draft also looks promising, but it's not the same thing.

Projects like telepresence are getting closer to this, anyone knows anything else?

Thanks! We (at Datawire) are working towards this with both Telepresence and Forge. Part of the premise is that developers also need self-service features in their operational infrastructure, which is why we also have Ambassador. It's a complex problem!
