What We Do
At LocalStack, we provide the #1 platform for local cloud development & testing, offering the most advanced cloud emulation for AWS services. Our aim is to assist individual cloud developers and enterprises in becoming solution nimble, optimizing costs, reducing contention, and delivering resilient and secure value to their customers.
LocalStack is ideal for designing and testing highly resilient and secure solutions on your local machine before live deployment. Our platform facilitates integration testing of cloud solutions both locally and in CI/CD environments, enhancing developer velocity and feature quality.
With LocalStack, you fully emphasize on black-box solution tests that fully exercise the inputs and outputs of your system, rather than solely focusing on unit tests.
Our solution also enables rapid design and development of sophisticated cloud solutions with little to no changes needed for IaC pipelines. In addition, by emulating cloud services locally, LocalStack enables additional features and workflows that are not feasible on the cloud, such as local chaos engineering, IAM security testing, team collaboration, and more!
