Less setup. More building.
I'm Nimesh. Nimesh Builds is where I build useful developer tools with AI and share the work in public: the design decisions, experiments, working demos, and lessons along the way.

Your cluster’s tools. A fresh place to test.
Replicove is an open-source Kubernetes operator for disposable integration environments powered by vCluster. Select the operators, Helm components, configuration, and explicitly granted secrets your application needs, customize the selection, and request a replica with a Kubernetes manifest.
- Provision: install Replicove with one Helm command, then create new vClusters on demand or use an explicitly registered existing guest.
- Reproduce: apply selected components with namespace mappings, overrides, dependency planning, and optional plan approval.
- Connect: issue temporary guest credentials for developers, CI, and agents.
- Clean up: expire replicas with a TTL and verify cleanup of recorded resources while preserving sources and independently managed runtimes.
Status: experimental alpha. The v0.1.0-alpha.1 release includes public amd64/arm64 operator images, an OCI Helm chart, native YAML, and macOS/Linux CLI downloads. Disposable-cluster tests cover the new/existing vCluster paths and small cert-manager, Spark, Trino, and admission-policy scenarios. Production certification, cloud identity, and source volume data restoration remain future work.
