LocalStack for AWS replicates your applicationâs production environment on local infrastructure so you can build for the AWS cloud faster and more efficiently.

LocalStack uses AWS service APIs to emulate a realistic environment for your production application on safe, local infrastructure.
The local nature of LocalStack environments empower development teams to build, test, and debug applications faster and more easily than ever before.
Save your stackâs entire state (resources and data) then share it as a reusable pod. Skip rework. Share progress. Keep your team in sync.
Run clean, conflict-free tests without touching global state. Debug faster with full visibility before, during, and after each test. No manual cleanup needed.
See how your team uses cloud services in practice. Spot patterns, catch inefficiencies, and surface issues before they become problems.
Inject faults, delays, and errors to simulate real-world failures. Stress-test your system and catch brittle dependencies early, right in your CI.
Spin up throwaway test environments on demand. Skip the staging bottlenecks and run isolated tests that vanish when you're done.
Add your own LocalStack extensions to support specialized tools and workflows. Or install prebuilt ones to get moving faster.

LocalStack works with your favorite tools, like Terraform, AWS CLI, AWS CDK, and the Serverless Framework. No major config changes. Just seamless, local emulation.
