Emulating AWS CI CD pipelines with LocalStack

Testing AWS CI/CD pipelines in the cloud can be slow, error-prone, and hard to debug, especially when you're wrestling with IAM permissions or waiting on long feedback cycles. This session walks through how you can now emulate complete DevOps workflows locally using LocalStack.We cover recent additions to LocalStack that support new service providers such as: CodeBuild: Run build processes across different runtimes directly on your machine CodeDeploy: Emulate deployment steps without touching the real infrastructure CodePipeline: Create and test CI pipelines, transitions, and triggers locallyThrough a live demo, we’ll walk through a working example of a CI/CD pipeline — building a Rust project, deploying it, and running the pipeline stages — all without leaving your laptop.This session is useful for developers building or debugging AWS-native CI/CD workflows and looking for faster, more controlled ways to test them.

Simulating outages with LocalStack Chaos API

LocalStack Chaos API enables you to simulate outages in any AWS region or service. Chaos API provides an easy way to implement chaos engineering experiments to test a wide variety of simulated outages and failures within your application safely, without impacting your production users.Common examples can include:- Region-wide outages- DNS failovers- Service failures- Network faultsAll the testing scenarios described above can be executed within LocalStack, providing thorough coverage for critical situations in a matter of minutes rather than hours or days.In this presentation by Viren Nadkarni, we explore how Chaos API is leveraged to perform service failures in a local environment while using robust error handling to address and mitigate such issues.## Resources- Documentation: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/chaos-engineering/chaos-api/- Get access: https://www.localstack.cloud/contact

Serverless with more infrastructure code and less application code

With the growing Serverless workloads, managing and maintaining them is best recommended with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). While this holds the complete infrastructure and its configurations, we could have events from one service destined to another via configuration. When building these configurations, we could also reduce the application code making it more maintainable and scalable.In this session, Jones walked us through a fully end-to-end solution built with Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions with SDK integrations which have helped him to improvise the application with just IaC and very minimal application code.
