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.
Ever wish you could test your whole cloud app without touching the cloud? I’ll show you how to validate your serverless pipeline from start to finish, right on your laptop using LocalStack. Join our Slack community and start shipping with confidence.
In this live session, Brian from LocalStack will demonstrate the WireMock extension for LocalStack, showing how developers can achieve end-to-end local testing by combining AWS service emulation with external API mocking. Brian will walk through real-world use cases, demonstrate the integration in action, and explain how this unified approach simplifies testing complex cloud applications that depend on both AWS services and third-party APIs.
