LocalStack

· 1 min read · CI/CD and GitOps · Tool

LocalStack exposes S3, SQS, DynamoDB, Lambda and many other AWS APIs on localhost:4566. Tests run fast, free and without risk to a real account.

Key concepts #

  • Edge endpoint: one URL, http://localhost:4566, for every service.
  • awslocal: the AWS CLI with the endpoint preconfigured.
  • Not identical to AWS: check IAM and edge-case behavior in a real account.
