Testing Terraform Modules in Local and CI Environments with LocalStack

Terraform 1.6 introduced native Terraform tests, but running them against real cloud resources leads to long deployment times and unnecessary costs. With LocalStack's Terraform integration (tflocal), you can validate configurations locally while closely emulating real cloud behaviour. By combining Terraform tests with LocalStack, developers can run integration tests in CI/CD environments, test event-driven serverless workflows, and establish a rapid feedback loop for cloud development.In this presentation, Harsh Mishra provides a hands-on demo of Terraform testing with LocalStack, exploring how to configure tests, validate infrastructure locally, and reduce costs and complexity while improving confidence in deployments.## Resources- Blog: https://blog.localstack.cloud/efficient-infrastructure-testing-localstack-terraform-tests-framework/- Documentation: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/tests- tflocal: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/integrations/terraform/#tflocal-wrapper-script

Demo: Intro to Local AWS Development via LocalStack

How much faster could your cloud application release cycles move if your developers didn’t need to deploy code to the cloud?

Local cloud development eliminates the security implications, cost concerns, and access restrictions of traditional cloud development by replicating production-quality application environments on local infrastructure.

Join us on Tuesday, December 16, at 1pm eastern time for a live demo webinar to learn more about:

  • How LocalStack replicates production-quality AWS application environments on local infrastructure
  • The unique advantages that local cloud environments provide for software developers
  • Successful use cases where local cloud development unlocks velocity that developers can’t experience on the cloud

Autonomous Bug Fixing Through AI Agents That Detect, Reproduce, and Repair

What if your software could fix its own bugs—before anyone even notices them? In this session, LogicStar co-founder Boris Paskalev shares how self-healing applications are becoming a reality—fixing bugs automatically, before they reach production or immediately after an issue is detected/reported. LogicStar combines classical computer science, deep tech research from the pioneers of “AI for Code” and Agentic AI to detect, reproduce, and fix real production issues with validated, test-backed pull requests.This session is for engineering leaders, PMs, and AI builders ready to rethink the boundaries of autonomy in software delivery.

Creating self-healing software systems via effective usage of telemetry data and AI agents

Modern software systems operate in complex, dynamic environments where failures are inevitable. Traditional monitoring and manual incident response are no longer sufficient to ensure resilience or customer satisfaction. This talk explores how to design and implement self-healing software systems by combining telemetry data with an AI-driven agentic approach. We’ll start by examining how high-quality telemetry forms the foundation for detecting anomalies and predicting failures. Next, we’ll show how modern GenAI (LLMs) can transform this telemetry into actionable insights for AI agents that interpret data, pinpoint root causes, and apply automated fixes. Through a practical, real-world example, you’ll see how telemetry and AI work together to create adaptive feedback loops that continuously improve system reliability, while freeing engineers from repetitive operational tasks.
