DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS

Dev environments that match production. Exactly.

You know the line: it works on my machine. Here, every dev setup is an exact copy of production.

Every developer tool clones your code. None clone your data. Rediacc clones both.

THE PROBLEM

Environment differences cause production bugs

Your test setup never quite matches the real one. Different OS. Different settings. Different data. So your code passes every test, then breaks the moment real users hit it. Those bugs hide for days. They cost real money. And they only exist because dev and production don't match.

182x more frequent deployments by elite performers vs. low performers DORA State of DevOps, 2024 [1]
69% of developers lose 8+ hours weekly to maintenance and environment issues Atlassian 2024 [2]
60–80% of test environments sit unused while their settings drift out of date Industry data [3]

THE REAL COST

What environment mismatch is costing you

Every production bug caused by environment drift is a bug that should never have existed.

HOW IT WORKS

One command. Perfect parity.

1

Copy

Start from an exact copy of production. Same OS, same settings, same data. The copy is instant and takes almost no extra disk space.

2

Develop

Build and test against real production data. Every setting, every file, every row of data is identical.

3

Deploy

Ship with confidence. No surprises. What works in your copy works in production.

UNDER THE HOOD

A rough guess vs. an exact copy

Most dev setups are rough guesses. You build them by hand. You configure them on their own. You fill them with fake test data. Rediacc copies your real production system instead, right down to the disk.

Traditional Dev Setup
Rediacc
Manually install OS packages, hope versions match
Exact OS, packages, and versions copied from production
Fake test data that doesn’t match real usage
Real production data copied with zero extra storage
Settings drift over days, weeks, months
A fresh copy every time, so nothing can drift
Days to set up, with no proof it matches
47 seconds, with an automatic parity check (--verify-parity)
WHY IT MATTERS

What you get

Exact match

OS, libraries, settings, Docker config, and real production data. All identical. We check it for you automatically.

No drift

Each copy starts fresh from the latest production state. So the gap between dev and prod isn't just smaller. It can't happen at all.

Fewer production bugs

When dev and prod match exactly, setup bugs stop happening. Not fewer of them. Zero.

THE GAP

Copying code vs. copying the whole system

Most developer tools copy your code. Rediacc copies the whole running system. That means code, data, settings, and services together.

We tracked every production incident for six months after switching to Rediacc clones. Environment-related bugs went from 14 per quarter to literally zero. Our QA lead thought the tracking system was broken — she’d never seen zero before.
