Cloud infrastructure has fueled innovation for nearly two decades—yet cost control remains a challenge. Unforeseen expenses and complicated billing can hamper agility, forcing teams to overspend just to stay competitive.What if you could evaluate costs in real-time, identify inefficiencies, and optimize deployments—without slowing development? Imagine adjusting parameters based on on-the-fly estimates and usage.In this presentation, Malcolm Matalka, Co-founder and CTO of Terrateam, explores how OpenInfraQuote, a new open-source command-line tool, transforms Terraform and OpenTofu code into actionable cost insights. Learn how to automate price checks, compare scenarios, and avoid financial surprises—alongside how it differs from other solutions and how to integrate it into your workflow.Resources- GitHub: https://github.com/terrateamio/openinfraquote- Documentation: https://openinfraquote.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

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. ## Getting startedIn this demo, we will setup a Sagemaker on Localstack

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 developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)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.
