LocalStack Community Meetups & Webinars

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible.In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn:What MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)Real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more.Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation.If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.

Modern software systems operate in complex, dynamic environments where failures are inevitable. Traditional monitoring and manual incident response are no longer sufficient to ensure resilience or customer satisfaction. This talk explores how to design and implement self-healing software systems by combining telemetry data with an AI-driven agentic approach. We’ll start by examining how high-quality telemetry forms the foundation for detecting anomalies and predicting failures. Next, we’ll show how modern GenAI (LLMs) can transform this telemetry into actionable insights for AI agents that interpret data, pinpoint root causes, and apply automated fixes. Through a practical, real-world example, you’ll see how telemetry and AI work together to create adaptive feedback loops that continuously improve system reliability, while freeing engineers from repetitive operational tasks.

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to level up your serverless development by integrating the AWS Toolkit for VS Code with LocalStack — enabling faster Lambda development, debugging, and testing without needing a live AWS account.👨‍💻 Featuring:Joel Scheuner, Senior Software Engineer at LocalStack, will show you how to:✅ Configure the AWS Toolkit for VS Code to connect with LocalStack✅ Deploy and test Lambda functions locally with full AWS emulation✅ Set breakpoints and debug functions right from your IDE✅ Iterate quickly on code changes with minimal setup overheadYou’ll also hear from an AWS engineer sharing real-world insights and best practices for modern serverless workflows.Whether you’re new to serverless or already deep in AWS development, this session will help you code with confidence and streamline your Lambda workflow from start to finish — all from your laptop.

What if your software could fix its own bugs—before anyone even notices them? In this session, LogicStar co-founder Boris Paskalev shares how self-healing applications are becoming a reality—fixing bugs automatically, before they reach production or immediately after an issue is detected/reported. LogicStar combines classical computer science, deep tech research from the pioneers of “AI for Code” and Agentic AI to detect, reproduce, and fix real production issues with validated, test-backed pull requests.This session is for engineering leaders, PMs, and AI builders ready to rethink the boundaries of autonomy in software delivery.

Ever wonder why some teams intentionally break their own systems? Welcome to the world of chaos engineering — a practice that's not just for Netflix-scale infrastructure, but for any team that wants to build resilient, reliable applications.In this session, we'll demystify chaos engineering and explain why intentionally breaking things is actually the smart move. You'll learn:What chaos engineering really is (in plain English, no buzzwords)Why waiting for production failures is a terrible strategyHow to start experimenting with controlled failure locally, before it happens in the wildReal-world examples of chaos experiments that catch bugs you'd never find in traditional testingTools and techniques to get started without blowing up your infrastructureThrough practical demos using LocalStack's cloud emulation and chaos engineering tools, we'll simulate failures like network latency, service outages, and resource exhaustion right from your laptop.If you've ever said "it worked on my machine" only to watch it crash in production, this talk is for you—let's break things intentionally so they don't break unexpectedly.

Looking to bring AWS emulation directly into your CI/CD pipelines? This hands-on session with Harsh Mishra shows you how to integrate LocalStack with Dagger to level up your development workflows.In this session, you'll learn how to:- Run full AWS emulation locally inside Dagger pipelines- Spin up LocalStack as a service using Dagger’s composable syntax- Use Cloud Pods for persistent state across pipeline runs- Create ephemeral environments for fast, clean, isolated testingKeep your cloud workflows repeatable, testable, and fastWhether you’re building serverless apps, managing infrastructure-as-code, or optimizing your DevOps pipelines, this talk will help you bring LocalStack into the heart of your CI/CD setup.
