I have no clue what this mirrord does. Is it some kind of API proxy?
What if I don't have 'pods', also, shouldn't it be called redirect_api? mirror sounds like it's mirrorring.
mirrord is a tool for backend engineers that enables them to work on a remote environment without needing to deploy there or actually run there.
It makes the iteration time (code -> test -> [review] -> deploy) faster since you don't replace the remote service also, which means many devs can work the same time.
Why would I need this? or whatever this does?
