Simulate Microservices, Cloud Services, and Everything Else with WireMock

In this live session, WireMock CTO Tom Akehurst will introduce hybrid API simulation (local + cloud) with WireMock Runner. Tom will explain why we built Runner, how developers are using it today, and how it fits into modern dev and test workflows - such as simulating APIs during testing, prototyping, and AI-native development.

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible.In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn:What MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)Real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more.Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation.If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.

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
