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/

Testing in the cloud = slow builds, fragile staging, surprise bills.Let’s talk about how developers are flipping the script and using local cloud environments to test smarter, faster, and cheaper without breaking production.Bonus: You’ll learn how LocalStack lets you simulate AWS on your machine. Game changer.

Why wait for the cloud to test your app? In this episode, we’ll write and run an integration test to validate our LocalStack app. You’ll learn how to upload a file, trigger the Lambda-SQS-DynamoDB flow, and assert the results all locally.

Want to modernize your CI/CD workflows? 🚀 In this session, Jason McCallister introduces Dagger, the open-source programmable CI/CD engine that’s redefining how we build, test, and ship software.You'll learn:- What makes Dagger different from traditional CI/CD tools- How to write pipelines as code and run them locally- How to compose reusable, testable pipeline components- Real-world examples of solving CI headaches with Dagger- Integration tips with Docker, Kubernetes, and beyondWhether you’re a DevOps pro, platform engineer, or just tired of brittle YAML, this talk will show you how Dagger helps you ship faster and smarter.
