LocalStack's cloud emulator lets you run Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) clusters and tasks on your local computer. It's sometimes useful to mount code from the host filesystem directly into the ECS container. This helps quickly test changes without needing to rebuild and redeploy the ECS Task's Docker image each time.This video explains how to use code mounting with the ECS bind mounts feature. Here are the links to the resources mentioned in the video:• Sample repository: https://github.com/localstack-samples/ecs-code-mounting-python-cdk• LocalStack Docs: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/ecs/#mounting-local-directories-for-ecs-tasks• AWS Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/bind-mounts.html
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
