LocalStack has been a game changer in terms of development speed and efficiency for our team migrating our monolithic application to a serverless Node.js stack on AWS. While in the past we had to maintain our own tooling and local mocks, with LocalStack we can now empower our devs to iterate quickly without having to perform numerous code commits & waiting for AWS pipelines, - hence also saving money on infrastructure!

Localstack is an incredibly beneficial tool for continuous integration (CI) pipelines. Provisioning AWS infrastructure against Localstack in a CI pipeline saves significant time and cost. Creating resources that would take multiple minutes in AWS takes only seconds with Localstack, significantly reducing pipeline execution time. Also, if your CI pipeline fails for any reason, you no longer have to worry about “orphaned” AWS resources that will cost you money.

Our cloud innovation is truly being turbocharged with fast iterations and prototyping using LocalStack. Security is of utmost importance for our organization, as we are developing critical cloud solutions for our healthcare departments. This leads to a series of internal gatekeepers and approval processes that are necessary to create any new system and drive innovation. LocalStack allows our developers to iterate quickly when creating prototypes and during early stage development, and also allows us write more realistic unit and integration tests for our AWS applications.

LocalStack has been immensely helpful in speeding up our development and testing cycles, leading to more and better testing across the board. In the past we were still deploying everything directly to the cloud, and had very long iterative deployment cycles, often with limited anticipation of what the outcome would be. Each deployment blocked our dev branch, making a portion of the team unproductive, but with LocalStack we can now quickly run most unit/integration tests before promoting our code into the higher stages.
