S8 Bonus: Bypassing the Staging Queue: Hooking Local Processes into Live Kubernetes Clusters with Aviram Hassan, Co-Founder & CEO of MetalBear, Creators of mirrord

Aviram Hassan started hacking his way into stuff at a young age, primarily from online multiplayer games. The first game was a fan based game for Pokemon, when he was 8 years old, which was helpful for him to learn English. He served in the Israeli military, prior to become a startup solution architect and backend developer. Outside of tech, he is a family man with a 6 month old, born around the same time as his startup. He also really enjoys coffee, but he admits, he is not obsessive or overly enthusiastic about it.Given their background, Aviram and his co-founder wanted to build a product based company. In their last company, they didn't really have a developer environment, as it was hard to maintain and didn't represent real data in the production environment. They started thinking about how they could solve this sort of problem.This is the creation story of Metalbear, and mirrord.SponsorsCipherstashTreblleCAST AI FireflyTursoLinksWebsite: https://metalbear.co/, https://mirrord.dev/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aviram-hassan/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/mt82fpxl #CashAppPod.
