# Introducing mirrord up: Shared-Cluster Development in One Command

**[MetalBear](https://daily.dev/sources/metalbear)** · 4 min read · 10 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

mirrord up is a new command that simplifies shared-cluster Kubernetes development. Instead of manually composing mirrord.json config files and running separate mirrord exec commands per service, developers now use a single mirrord-up.yaml file and one command. A --mode flag replaces complex mechanism combinations (HTTP filters, queue splitting, network modes), defaulting to 'split' mode which routes only your traffic to your local process. Multiple services can be run in parallel, similar to docker compose. An interactive wizard (mirrord up init) helps generate the config file. The existing mirrord exec workflow remains available for advanced use cases.
