Building LocalStack with LocalStack

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 covers an application overview, how we enable local cloud development, how we use LocalStack in CI, and how we use LocalStack to enable application previews and E2E testing.

LocalStack is ephemeral, so when you stop and restart it, all data is lost. You can use certain features to save the state & load it back when you restart LocalStack. This includes saving the local state for S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, RDS databases and more. In this video, we explore three mechanisms that allow you to save state in LocalStack: persistence, state export and import, and Cloud Pods.
