It's literally in the first sentence of the README:

> mirrord lets you easily mirror traffic from your Kubernetes cluster to your development environment.

That said, cool application, although I can see a lot of compliance and/or data protection problems when production data is leaving the (hopefully protected) production environment.

This is a real concern for PCI, PII, and SOX services. If you have good service inventory you could gate this to only work for approved apps, but some live rewriting of form data could also be helpful. Faker on demand :)
Thanks for the feedback! One of the creators here :) Our initial thought is to create a solution similar to what Lyft has done (https://eng.lyft.com/scaling-productivity-on-microservices-a...) to enable using staging as a dev environment and sharing it with many developers at once. We do want people to use at us production later on, but right now we know there might be compliance/security issues.
