Running your Spring Boot app on AWS for production is common, but testing there can be slow and costly. In this video, we’ll show you how to speed up development using LocalStack. By provisioning your infrastructure with Terraform, you can easily switch to local testing in just three steps: configure your dev environment variables, start LocalStack in Docker, and run your IaC files. Get faster feedback and reduce costs by testing locally with LocalStack!

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, and integration tips with Docker, Kubernetes, and beyond. Whether 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.
