Show HN: DevBox – Open-source engineering harness from RudderStack

RudderStack founder Soumyadeb said the company has open-sourced DevBox, an engineering harness it has used internally since April, and that roughly 35% of its merged PRs — more than 1,900 — have come from DevBox. DevBox runs on Kubernetes or a local machine and includes an internal CLI that performs end-to-end verification by spinning up dependent services, with native Slack, Linear and GitHub integrations. RudderStack said its team still uses Claude and Codex for larger projects, while most small to mid-size features go through DevBox.

Hi, this is Soumyadeb, founder of RudderStack. Today, we are open-sourcing DevBox, our engineering harness we have been using @ RudderStack since April.

About 35% of our merged PRs, over 1900 so far, have come from DevBox. Our team still uses Claude and Codex for bigger projects but most small to mid features go via DevBox.

DevBox runs on Kubernetes as well as your local machine. As a part of DevBox, we also built an internal CLI that runs end-to-end verification by spinning up the necessary dependent services. It has native integrations with Slack, Linear and Guthub. We have put considerable effort in making it secure.

It should be pretty easy to setup. Just point your Claude/Codex to the Github repo
