Fake It Till You Make It: Cloud Edition

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/
