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 for running build processes across different runtimes directly on your machine, CodeDeploy for emulating deployment steps without touching the real infrastructure, and CodePipeline for creating and testing CI pipelines, transitions, and triggers locally. Through 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.

In this video, you'll learn how to set up and integrate LocalStack's Snowflake Emulator to develop and test your Snowflake data apps in your local environment or CI pipelines. Whether you're using Snowpark, various client libraries, or building interactive data apps with frameworks like Streamlit, this emulator simplifies your developer experience. We'll walk you through step-by-step instructions on installing the Snowflake emulator with the LocalStack CLI & Docker, configuring and integrating the emulator with popular SQL clients, such as DBeaver, and running SQL queries locally to replicate a full Snowflake environment without cloud dependencies. ⚡ Get early access! The Snowflake Emulator is currently in public preview—reach out to us for access and start building today!

Real cloud developers aren’t pushing straight to AWS. They’re building and testing everything locally before a single deploy goes live. This episode breaks down the modern cloud dev workflow and how tools like LocalStack make it possible to move fast without burning money (or trust). Learn how local-first dev culture is changing the cloud game.

LocalStack Applications in Developer Hub provides sample templates to help LocalStack users adopt real-world scenarios to rapidly and conveniently create, configure, and deploy applications locally.
