LocalStack – A fully functional local AWS cloud stack
Huh. One of the biggest 'drawbacks' of using AWS as a production platform is that making your development environment look like production is hard.Having to deploy to test is cumbersome and having a cost associated with each test can definitely introduce some sort of 'stress' and encourage people to not test incrementally.I wonder if this changes that.
Having services like S3, Lambda and SQS available locally sounds super interesting.I will definitely keep an eye on this.
One other thing I would like to see is CloudFront, which can be very hard to start with due to its opaqueness.
Having to wait 20+ minutes between configuration changes is very demotivating.
