Our take
Developers can face high costs and delays with cloud-based testing (as centralised cloud environments are complex and expensive to maintain), which slows down development. This means that solutions to reduce these challenges are crucial for improving productivity.
LocalStack is solving this issue by providing a virtual environment that lets developers run a complete AWS setup on their laptops, cutting deployment times from 28 minutes to 24 seconds. It supports over 100 AWS services, reducing cloud costs and streamlining testing.
In an exciting move, the company raised substantial funding which will go towards expanding into the US and further developing its platform. With plans to offer new features like chaos engineering, LocalStack is ready to transform cloud development across multiple platforms.
