Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’ve always felt microservices came with a painful trade-off: we gained scale but lost the joy of the “inner loop.” That creative flow died when our stacks outgrew localhost. Now that we’re all building agents, speed is non-negotiable. You simply can’t wait 20 minutes for CI just to tweak a prompt or debug a tool call.
We built Signadot Local to solve this. We refined this in beta with enterprise teams running hundreds of microservices. We learned that raw connectivity wasn’t enough because developers were still flying blind. So, we built traffic management directly into the stack to give you full visibility and control over the data flowing through your cluster right from the CLI.
Here is what’s in Signadot Local today:
🔌 Connect: Bi-directional tunnels. Treat your environment, whether it’s your local workstation or a Cloud Dev Environment (CDE), as a fully connected node of the Kubernetes cluster.
🔥 Backend Hot Reload: Run locally with full cluster context including envs, files, isolated DBs, and message queues. We route only your traffic to your machine so you can iterate on your microservice’s logic in real-time without disrupting the shared cluster.
🔍 Inspect: A real-time TUI. Get a live feed of HTTP/gRPC requests and payloads streaming directly to your terminal.
🛠️ Override: Surgical traffic control. Intercept downstream requests and force specific responses (or errors) to test failure modes without writing mocks.
We believe this is now mature enough to be the default way you develop and debug microservices, no matter how complex your application is. It’s available on all tiers (Free included).
Stop fighting the infrastructure. Just flow.
