Local Debugging for Lambda Functions via new Lambda Debug Mode

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

Serverless with more infrastructure code and less application code

With the growing Serverless workloads, managing and maintaining them is best recommended with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). While this holds the complete infrastructure and its configurations, we could have events from one service destined to another via configuration. When building these configurations, we could also reduce the application code making it more maintainable and scalable.In this session, Jones walked us through a fully end-to-end solution built with Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions with SDK integrations which have helped him to improvise the application with just IaC and very minimal application code.
