What is LocalStack?

LocalStack emulates AWS services right on your laptop so you can build and test cloud applications without connecting to the AWS cloud.

That means you can experiment building production-quality AWS applications in a safe environment without needing a credit card or worrying about the cloud bill.

"Local development for cloud services is not, it turns out, nearly as silly as I once thought. LocalStack can lower costs when it comes to safely training developers, building efficient workloads, and, sure, standing up ridiculous websites. The breadth of AWS API coverage LocalStack has managed to deliver is rather breathtaking."
