Emulating AWS CI CD pipelines with LocalStack

Testing AWS CI/CD pipelines in the cloud can be slow, error-prone, and hard to debug, especially when you're wrestling with IAM permissions or waiting on long feedback cycles. This session walks through how you can now emulate complete DevOps workflows locally using LocalStack.We cover recent additions to LocalStack that support new service providers such as: CodeBuild: Run build processes across different runtimes directly on your machine CodeDeploy: Emulate deployment steps without touching the real infrastructure CodePipeline: Create and test CI pipelines, transitions, and triggers locallyThrough a live demo, we’ll walk through a working example of a CI/CD pipeline — building a Rust project, deploying it, and running the pipeline stages — all without leaving your laptop.This session is useful for developers building or debugging AWS-native CI/CD workflows and looking for faster, more controlled ways to test them.

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.

WTH is Chaos Engineering?! A Quick Look at Breaking Things on Purpose

Ever wonder why some teams intentionally break their own systems? Welcome to the world of chaos engineering — a practice that's not just for Netflix-scale infrastructure, but for any team that wants to build resilient, reliable applications.In this session, we'll demystify chaos engineering and explain why intentionally breaking things is actually the smart move. You'll learn:What chaos engineering really is (in plain English, no buzzwords)Why waiting for production failures is a terrible strategyHow to start experimenting with controlled failure locally, before it happens in the wildReal-world examples of chaos experiments that catch bugs you'd never find in traditional testingTools and techniques to get started without blowing up your infrastructureThrough practical demos using LocalStack's cloud emulation and chaos engineering tools, we'll simulate failures like network latency, service outages, and resource exhaustion right from your laptop.If you've ever said "it worked on my machine" only to watch it crash in production, this talk is for you—let's break things intentionally so they don't break unexpectedly.
