Upcoming Events
Join LocalStack at Booth B14 during AWS Summit London 2026.
What you'll discover: Learn how building and testing your AWS applications locally with LocalStack can significantly increase delivery speed, reduce cloud risk, and lower costs for your teams.
Featured Demonstration: We will be showcasing the local deployment and validation of a complete event-driven serverless quiz application built with AWS services. See firsthand how LocalStack features accelerate your development cycle, providing faster feedback and greater confidence before you deploy to AWS.
Event Details:
- Where: ExCeL London, Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL, UK
- When: Wednesday, 22 April 2026, approximately 08:00–18:00 BST
- Find Us: Bronze Sponsor, Booth B14
So many of the challenges that slow down software development stem from the fact that early-stage dev & test cycles are performed in cloud environments.
Local cloud development removes these challenges.
By simulating AWS application behavior in a local container, the local cloud enables developers and agents to validate the security, quality, and reliability of their applications faster and more effectively than they can on the cloud.
Join us on Wednesday, May 6, for a live demo to learn how our users:
- Eliminate access restrictions, provisioning delays, and cloud costs for low-level AWS environments
- Accelerate CI/CD pipelines by providing a local endpoint for testing stages
- Streamline security validation, debugging, and resiliency testing with unique features that can’t be replicated on the cloud
- Ship code to production seamlessly to integrate the local cloud into day-to-day development workflows
Join our April meetup where John Nguyen from E.ON demonstrates how Testcontainers and LocalStack let you run integration tests against realistic AWS services locally. He'll walk through the pitfalls of mock-based testing and show how spinning up real services in Docker containers gives you confidence that your code actually works against emulated services. This session will give you practical techniques for writing integration tests that catch the bugs your unit tests miss.

Multi-account and multi-region compatibility enables users to manage and deploy resources across multiple AWS accounts and geographic regions. This functionality enhances the robustness of the deployments by offering improved fault tolerance, scalability, and regulatory compliance. By segregating resources into separate accounts and distributing them across various regions, users can minimize the impact of potential failures and optimize performance.In this session from LocalStack Community Meetup May '24, Sannya Singhal discussed how you could use LocalStack to emulate multi-account and multi-region environments locally for testing and development purposes, ensuring that applications were resilient and scalable before deployment to the cloud.
LocalStack’s core cloud emulator allows us to run our own cloud application - including its infrastructure - locally, which provides an efficient developer experience at the start of the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). This experience enables us to build our product features in a way that closely matches what our customers are looking for — a comprehensive developer platform that facilitates local multi-cloud development across different providers and services.In this session from LocalStack Community Meetup April '24, Lukas Pichler showcases how to use the LocalStack core cloud emulator and other novel solutions, to build, test, and integrate new features in our LocalStack Web Application. He broadly discusses:• Application Overview• How do we enable local cloud development?How do we use LocalStack in CI?• How do we use LocalStack to enable application previews and E2E testing?• Conclusion
AWS Database Migration Service provides migration solutions from databases, data warehouses, and other types of data stores (e.g. S3, SAP). The migration can be homogeneous (source and target have the same type), but often is heterogeneous as it supports migration from various sources to various targets (self-hosted and AWS services).LocalStack supports DMS with selected use cases. In this session from LocalStack Community Meetup July '24, Mathieu Cloutier explores how to use LocalStack to migrate from a MariaDB database to an AWS Kinesis Stream. He goes over the differences between CDC and full load, and as a bonus you will see how easy it is to migrate from an external database to your Kinesis Stream — tested all on your local machine!Docs: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/dms/
Cloud pods are persistent state snapshots of your LocalStack instance that can easily be stored, versioned, shared, and restored. Cloud Pods can be used for various purposes, such as:• Save and manage snapshots of active LocalStack instances.• Share state snapshots with your team to debug collectively.• Automate your testing pipelines by pre-seeding CI environments.• Create reproducible development and testing environments locally.In this session from LocalStack Community Meetup July '24, Bart Szydlowski explores how to use Cloud Pods to accelerate your cloud development & testing. He showcases how you can get started with Cloud Pods, integrate them into your testing pipelines, and make it easy for your team members to be onboarded to your cloud infrastructure — running all on your local machine!Docs: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/state-management/cloud-pods/
In this talk, Teja explore the intricacies of the software supply chain and discuss strategies for protecting your software against supply chain attacks. He look sinto the risks associated with these threats, offer mitigation measures, and covers recommended practices for managing open-source software and Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs). This session aims to equip the audience with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance the security of their software supply chain.
About a year ago we have released the first version of LocalStack Extensions: Extensions are a powerful mechanism to plug additional functionality into LocalStack - ranging from additional service emulators, to value-add features like Chaos Engineering, request logging, cloud resource replication/proxying, and more.Over the last couple of months we have been experimenting with a LocalStack Snowflake emulator extension, which allows to develop and test your Snowflake data pipelines entirely on your local machine!In this talk, Waldemar discusses and demonstrates how you can develop your Snowflake data pipelines locally with LocalStack.
