About a year ago we have released the first version of LocalStack Extensions: Extensions are a powerful mechanism to plug additional functionality into LocalStack - ranging from additional service emulators, to value-add features like Chaos Engineering, request logging, cloud resource replication/proxying, and more.Over the last couple of months we have been experimenting with a LocalStack Snowflake emulator extension, which allows to develop and test your Snowflake data pipelines entirely on your local machine!In this talk, Waldemar discusses and demonstrates how you can develop your Snowflake data pipelines locally with LocalStack.

We’re partnering with gdotv to simplify development with our Amazon Neptune cloud emulator component. You can now easily query, visualise and model your graph data either interactively or using the Gremlin querying language with G.V() - Gremlin IDE.With G.V(), you can considerably enhance your graph database development experience whilst gaining access to a powerful reporting and visualisation toolset for your production data. With LocalStack’s core cloud emulator, parity is ensured between a local Neptune instance and AWS’s own, meaning Gremlin queries in your development environment will behave identically on Amazon Neptune. In this video we demonstrate how to use G.V() with LocalStack Neptune.Read the announcement blog here: https://blog.localstack.cloud/2024-06-05-localstack-neptune-development-with-gv-gremlin-ide/

Debugging serverless functions has always been challenging, often requiring repeated invocations, extensive log tracing, and cloud deployments to diagnose an issue. The new Lambda Debug Mode in LocalStack changes this by allowing developers to debug AWS Lambda functions directly in their IDE, with breakpoints, variable inspection, and step-through execution, without leaving their local environment.In this presentation, Marco Edoardo Palma provides a hands-on demo of Lambda Debug Mode—from debugging standalone functions to handling multi-function workflows. Learn how this developer-first approach makes debugging serverless applications faster, smoother, and more intuitive.## Resources- Documentation: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/lambda-tools/debugging/#lambda-debug-mode-preview- Samples: https://github.com/localstack-samples/localstack-pro-samples/tree/master/lambda-debug-mode

Ever wish you could test your whole cloud app without touching the cloud? I’ll show you how to validate your serverless pipeline from start to finish, right on your laptop using LocalStack. Join our Slack community and start shipping with confidence.
