Everyone knows the issue. There are just too many microservices to run all of them on your local machine for development. Most of the time you are changing only one service anyhow. Telepresence enables you to pick a single service from your remote Kubernetes deployment and start developing on your local machine. Traffic from within the cluster is routed to your local machine and vice versa. Moreover, combining Telepresence with IntelliJ gives you full debugging capabilities, speeding up development drastically.
