Building and debugging cloud-native applications often involves slow CI/CD pipelines, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and the need for costly shared environments. LocalStack offers a better way — letting developers simulate real AWS services entirely on their local machine.In this presentation, Kiah Imani gives a hands-on walkthrough of building and testing AWS workflows locally with LocalStack. From Lambda functions to S3 pre-signed uploads and SNS/SQS pipelines, you'll see how to prototype, debug, and iterate on cloud-native apps without ever deploying to the cloud.### Resources- S3: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/s3/- Lambda: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/lambda/- SQS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sqs/- SNS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sns/- Repo: https://github.com/localstack-samples/sample-serverless-image-resizer-s3-lambda/

We’re partnering with gdotv to simplify development with our Amazon Neptune cloud emulator component. You can now easily query, visualise and model your graph data either interactively or using the Gremlin querying language with G.V() - Gremlin IDE.With G.V(), you can considerably enhance your graph database development experience whilst gaining access to a powerful reporting and visualisation toolset for your production data. With LocalStack’s core cloud emulator, parity is ensured between a local Neptune instance and AWS’s own, meaning Gremlin queries in your development environment will behave identically on Amazon Neptune. In this video we demonstrate how to use G.V() with LocalStack Neptune.Read the announcement blog here: https://blog.localstack.cloud/2024-06-05-localstack-neptune-development-with-gv-gremlin-ide/

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.## Resources- Documentation: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/lambda-tools/debugging/#lambda-debug-mode-preview- Samples: https://github.com/localstack-samples/localstack-pro-samples/tree/master/lambda-debug-mode
