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!

Debugging serverless functions has always been challenging, often requiring repeated invocations, extensive log tracing, and cloud deployments to diagnose an issue. The new Lambda Debug Mode in LocalStack changes this by allowing developers to debug AWS Lambda functions directly in their IDE, with breakpoints, variable inspection, and step-through execution, without leaving their local environment. In this presentation, Marco Edoardo Palma provides a hands-on demo of Lambda Debug Mode—from debugging standalone functions to handling multi-function workflows. Learn how this developer-first approach makes debugging serverless applications faster, smoother, and more intuitive.

Ever wish you could test your whole cloud app without touching the cloud? I’ll show you how to validate your serverless pipeline from start to finish, right on your laptop using LocalStack. Join our Slack community and start shipping with confidence.

In this live session, Brian from LocalStack will demonstrate the WireMock extension for LocalStack, showing how developers can achieve end-to-end local testing by combining AWS service emulation with external API mocking. Brian will walk through real-world use cases, demonstrate the integration in action, and explain how this unified approach simplifies testing complex cloud applications that depend on both AWS services and third-party APIs.
