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.

Testing in the cloud = slow builds, fragile staging, surprise bills.Let’s talk about how developers are flipping the script and using local cloud environments to test smarter, faster, and cheaper without breaking production.Bonus: You’ll learn how LocalStack lets you simulate AWS on your machine. Game changer.
