Tired of rebuilding your stack from scratch every time you run tests or restart your dev environment? In this episode, we dive into Cloud Pods, LocalStack’s powerful state management feature.You’ll learn how to:- Snapshot your entire LocalStack environment (services, resources, data)- Restore that exact state across machines, teams, or CI runs- Speed up test cycles and workflows- Use Cloud Pods to make testing in CI/CD faster and more reliableCloud Pods let you freeze your infrastructure in time. Perfect for repeatable tests, isolated dev environments, or onboarding new teammates.🔗 Read the companion blog post: https://blog.localstack.cloud/save-and-share-localstack-state-with-cloudpods/

Looking to bring AWS emulation directly into your CI/CD pipelines? This hands-on session with Harsh Mishra shows you how to integrate LocalStack with Dagger to level up your development workflows.In this session, you'll learn how to:- Run full AWS emulation locally inside Dagger pipelines- Spin up LocalStack as a service using Dagger’s composable syntax- Use Cloud Pods for persistent state across pipeline runs- Create ephemeral environments for fast, clean, isolated testingKeep your cloud workflows repeatable, testable, and fastWhether you’re building serverless apps, managing infrastructure-as-code, or optimizing your DevOps pipelines, this talk will help you bring LocalStack into the heart of your CI/CD setup.

LocalStack's Docker Extension allows developers to manage and run cloud applications locally within Docker Desktop efficiently. With a fully-integrated experience with features such as configuration profiles, container logs, and more, developers can now easily manage their LocalStack instance.In this video, Harsh from LocalStack discusses the LocalStack Docker Extension and how you can capitalize on an intuitive user experience to manage your LocalStack image, configuration profiles, and container logs directly within the Docker Desktop.

This is where it all comes together.CI/CD lets dev teams ship code automatically — but only if your pipeline is built to handle the cloud.In this episode, I show you how local testing + automated deployment = cloud apps that ship faster, safer, and smarter.Stick around to the end, this is the final episode of WTH is the Cloud?!
