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.

In this video, you'll learn how to set up and integrate LocalStack's Snowflake Emulator to develop and test your Snowflake data apps in your local environment or CI pipelines. Whether you're using Snowpark, various client libraries, or building interactive data apps with frameworks like Streamlit, this emulator simplifies your developer experience. We'll walk you through step-by-step instructions on installing the Snowflake emulator with the LocalStack CLI & Docker, configuring and integrating the emulator with popular SQL clients, such as DBeaver, and running SQL queries locally to replicate a full Snowflake environment without cloud dependencies. ⚡ Get early access! The Snowflake Emulator is currently in public preview—reach out to us for access and start building today!

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.
