Software Development
Run your cloud & serverless apps locally to reduce development time and increase product velocity with LocalStack!
About us
At LocalStack, we provide the #1 platform for local cloud development & testing, offering the most advanced cloud emulation for AWS services. Our aim is to assist individual cloud developers and enterprises in becoming solution nimble, optimizing costs, reducing contention, and delivering resilient and secure value to their customers. LocalStack is ideal for designing and testing highly resilient and secure solutions on your local machine before live deployment. Our platform facilitates integration testing of cloud solutions both locally and in CI/CD environments, enhancing developer velocity and feature quality. With LocalStack, you fully emphasize on black-box solution tests that fully exercise the inputs and outputs of your system, rather than solely focusing on unit tests. Our solution also enables rapid design and development of sophisticated cloud solutions with little to no changes needed for IaC pipelines. In addition, by emulating cloud services locally, LocalStack enables additional features and workflows that are not feasible on the cloud, such as local chaos engineering, IAM security testing, team collaboration, and more!

LocalStack
DevOps Software
LocalStack is a cloud development platform that facilitates building/testing of cloud and serverless applications on your local machine. At its core, it features a service emulator that runs in a single container on your laptop or in your CI environment. LocalStack supports a growing number of AWS services, like Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, SQS, RDS, ECS, EKS and many more! With LocalStack, you can run your AWS applications or Lambdas entirely on your local machine without connecting to a remote cloud provider! Whether you are testing complex CDK applications or Terraform configurations, or just beginning to learn about AWS services, LocalStack helps speed up and simplify your testing and development workflow.

Join our next meetup for a hands-on look at how LocalStack enables local development and testing for AI-powered and cloud-native applications. • Waldemar Hummer will walk through how you can safely prototype cloud apps with “vibe coding” without incurring cloud costs or touching production systems. • Kiah will dive into practical techniques for emulating full AWS stacks locally, from Lambda and Step Functions to S3 uploads and SNS/SQS pipelines. Whether you're building AI workflows or debugging tricky cloud behaviours, this session will show you how to work faster, safer, and smarter — entirely from your laptop.

Last week, AWS released a new agentic IDE named Kiro. It includes AI-coding assistance similar to Cursor or GitHub Copilot, but also offers a unique spec-based AI coding option. Brian Rinaldi looks at how this more structured approach to AI works and whether it improves your chances of success. https://lnkd.in/eNe9x4uu

We just announced our July meetup featuring two great talks: * Our co-founder and CTO, Waldemar Hummer, will explore testing AI-powered cloud apps locally by emulating services like SageMaker, Bedrock, Redshift, and Snowflake. * Kiah Imani will dig into testing event-driven serverless apps built with services like Lambda, Step Functions, pre-signed S3 uploads, SNS/SQS pipelines, and event-driven workflows, without ever deploying to the cloud. RSVP today and then join us live on July 29th. Details here: https://lnkd.in/g637C37i

Chaos engineering allows you to test outages, latency and API errors. It's extremely powerful but can have major tradeoffs around being complex to implement, increased costs and potential risk of customer impact. The good news is that you can do chaos testing locally on your laptop using LocalStack. Even better, you can implement all this using the dashboard and templates that make it easy!
