CodeZero — While Kubernetes is largely recognized as the de facto standard for cloud orchestration, most developers would rather not use it because of its current complexity. Tens of millions of developers rely on tens of thousands of DevOps engineers to run Kubernetes, which creates huge bottlenecks that affect all technologies using cloud tools, like AI,ML, IoT and so on. CodeZero has created a new approach to Kubernetes development that helps companies quickly establish modern development techniques. 75% of a developer’s time is spent on debugging, or 1,500 hours a year. In the US alone, $113B is spent annually on identifying and fixing product defects. CodeZero is the modern Kubernetes platform that allows teams to collaboratively develop and debug microservices locally and in-cluster. CodeZero compresses the developer feedback loop so new features are implemented, tested and released 10x faster than traditional development methods by allowing developers to debug their code without having to spend time deploying software to the cluster each time they want to test a change.
