Serverless with more infrastructure code and less application code

LocalStack Applications in Developer Hub provides sample templates to help LocalStack users adopt real-world scenarios to rapidly and conveniently create, configure, and deploy applications locally. ## Getting startedIn this demo, we will setup a Sagemaker on Localstack

LocalStack enables organizations to automate their application testing and integration process through DevOps practices, such as continuous integration (CI). LocalStack allows organizations to move away from complicated AWS testing and staging environments by enabling a key component of testing and delivering cloud-native applications.To further automate the process, we use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks like Terraform that allow you to create your resources declaratively and apply those resources. Testing your Terraform modules against the real AWS cloud can be time-consuming and costly and can make you run into the risk of dangling resources after an unsuccessful CI run. Using LocalStack to emulate a mock ephemeral AWS infrastructure on CI pipelines allows you to work on the same functionality the real AWS cloud provides while cutting down testing costs and deployment times.In this session, Jim Sheldon, Senior Developer Advocate at Harness, will demonstrate how to use LocalStack to test Terraform modules on Harness CI. Harness CI allows you to create software pipelines that will enable you to check out your code, build the software, run your tests, and validate every code change. We wind up the session with updates about the all-new LocalStack release!

Local development and testing are significant for engineers who wish to ship confidently onto production environments. Test-driven development (TDD) has been adopted as an essential practice to enforce that and ensure that every code change is validated locally and on CI. This is where we arrive at the Testcontainers libraries that support your tests, providing lightweight, ephemeral instances of common databases, message brokers, web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container. With Testcontainers, available in different popular languages: Java, Go, .NET, JavaScript/Typescript, and Python, you can replicate the production environment on your local machine and test everything (including AWS APIs powered by LocalStack)! Testcontainers ensure that the data access layer, user interface, and application are tested well at each step. In this session, we have looked at Testcontainers and how to adopt them to develop our applications locally and run our integration tests while using LocalStack to provision cloud resources inside a Docker container before pushing your application to production! In the end, we have also discussed how LocalStack and the Java version of Testcontainers play nicely with each other and wind up with updates about the all-new LocalStack release!
