LocalStack

Local cloud emulator for AWS services

About LocalStack

A cloud service emulator that runs in a single container on a developer machine, mocking many AWS services so teams can develop and test cloud and serverless applications locally. It offers a free entry point, with paid cloud or enterprise tiers adding hosted operation, advanced features, support or higher limits for teams that outgrow self-hosting.
