Introducing AWS Lambda Web Functions: Deep Dive with AWS

AWS just released Lambda Web Functions, a major update to AWS Lambda. In this session, Samrat Karak, AWS Lambda Product Manager, explains what's new and where Web Functions are most useful. Then see how to run and test them locally with LocalStack before you run them in your cloud environments.

What you'll learn

  • What AWS Lambda Web Functions are, and why they matter
  • Where Web Functions are most useful, straight from the AWS Lambda team
  • How to run and test Web Functions locally with LocalStack
  • How to catch issues locally before you run them in your cloud environments
  • A live LocalStack demo of a Web Function running end to end, no AWS account required

How Cloud Developers Actually Work Without Breaking Everything

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.

Getting started with the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible. In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn what MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted development, how the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflows, how to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.), and real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more. Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation. If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.
