Telepresence is an open-source Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that enables fast, efficient Kubernetes development by creating a bidirectional network connection between your local development environment and a remote Kubernetes cluster. It allows you to debug services running in the remote cluster as if they were running locally, without exposing ports or using remote debugging protocols. With Telepresence, you can intercept traffic to specific services, set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through code execution, all while accessing environment variables and volumes mounted into the remote service. This simplifies Spring Boot microservice development and debugging in Kubernetes, providing an instant feedback loop for rapid iteration and collaboration with teammates.
