Telepresence is described as 'Open source tool that lets you develop and debug your Kubernetes services locally while bridging to a remote Kubernetes cluster' and is an app in the development category. There are five alternatives to Telepresence for Mac, Windows, Linux, Kubernetes and Docker. The best Telepresence alternative is mirrord, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Telepresence are Crane, Gefyra, Docker Compose UI and DevSpace (for Kubernetes and Docker).
No need to build containers, running from IDE.
It frees so much time not waiting for containers to build just to see you added a typo that broke the deployment.
Crane is a container image tool that includes building local Docker images; connecting to DockerHub; listing local and remote container images; pushing local images to the DockerHub registry, and importing remote container images into an MLOps platform cluster.
Gefyra gives Kubernetes-(“cloud-native”)-developers a completely new way of writing and testing their applications. Gone are the times of custom docker-compose setups, Vagrants, custom scripts or other scenarios in order to develop (micro-)services for Kubernetes.
Gefyra does not need sudo privileges, does not have connection issues and also me to use Kubernetes patterns such as sidecar. Good stuff!
The aim of this project is to provide a minimal HTTP API on top of Docker Compose while maintaining full interoperability with Docker Compose CLI.
With a DevSpace, you can build, test and run code directly inside any Kubernetes cluster. You can run devspace up in any of your projects and the client-only DevSpace CLI will start a DevSpace within your Kubernetes cluster.

It's super easy to run and works out of the box without installing anything in your cluster.
