LocalStack Champions is a global recognition program for developers who actively build, share, and help others succeed with LocalStack.
LocalStack Champions are community-driven developers dedicated to sharing their work and helping peers succeed. The program highlights builders who learn in public and support the ecosystem through the following activities
Help the community by contributing sample applications, templates, or open-source GitHub repositories. Providing real-world code examples is one of the best ways to show other developers what’s possible.
Share your knowledge by writing blog posts, recording video tutorials, or building step-by-step demos. We ask that Champions publish at least two pieces of LocalStack-related content annually to help others learn.
Because you use LocalStack in real projects, your insights are invaluable. You’ll have a direct line to our team to share thoughtful feedback on upcoming features and influence the platform's future.
Take your passion to the stage! Champions are encouraged to occasionally share their expertise by speaking at local meetups, industry conferences, or virtual online events.
