Telepresence Alternatives

Telepresence is described as 'works by running your code locally, as a normal local process, and then forwarding requests to/from the Kubernetes cluster. This means development is fast: you only have to change your code and restart your process' and is an app in the development category. There are four alternatives to Telepresence for Linux, Mac, Windows, Docker and Kubernetes. The best alternative is Crane, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Telepresence are DevSpace (for Kubernetes and Docker), Gefyra and Docker Compose UI.
