Simulate Microservices, Cloud Services, and Everything Else with WireMock

Bring your tests to CI/CD with GitHub Actions! In this episode, we’ll show how to integrate LocalStack into your workflow, so your tests run automatically on every push without touching real AWS resources.Whether you're testing Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, or beyond LocalStack makes it possible to run everything locally, even in your CI workflows.🔗 Read the companion blog post: https://blog.localstack.cloud/automate-your-tests-with-github-actions-and-localstack/

Building and debugging cloud-native applications often involves slow CI/CD pipelines, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and the need for costly shared environments. LocalStack offers a better way — letting developers simulate real AWS services entirely on their local machine.In this presentation, Kiah Imani gives a hands-on walkthrough of building and testing AWS workflows locally with LocalStack. From Lambda functions to S3 pre-signed uploads and SNS/SQS pipelines, you'll see how to prototype, debug, and iterate on cloud-native apps without ever deploying to the cloud.### Resources- S3: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/s3/- Lambda: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/lambda/- SQS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sqs/- SNS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sns/- Repo: https://github.com/localstack-samples/sample-serverless-image-resizer-s3-lambda/

Why wait for the cloud to test your app? In this episode, we’ll write and run an integration test to validate our LocalStack app. You’ll learn how to upload a file, trigger the Lambda-SQS-DynamoDB flow, and assert the results all locally.
