This is a strange product they’re selling. You run your binary on on macOS but presumably your server is running linux. Why are you trying to run Darwin executables as if they were in the cloud when that is not what will actually be deployed? Shouldn’t the testing at least be done from a linux machine?

Ideally! And it can be run on a Linux machine if the user prefers. But if you code on a Mac, mirrord still lets you go through a good number of test iterations (by letting your process run with network input/output, file content and environment variables from the cloud) before having to deploy your code to a Linux machine for that (hopefully) final round of testing.
