Our take
Because centralised cloud environments are complex and expensive to maintain, developers can face high costs and delays with cloud-based testing. 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 2024, the company raised substantial funding which supports US expansion and further platform development. With plans to continue adding new features, LocalStack is ready to transform cloud development across multiple platforms.
