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.
