LocalStack x Gitpod - Run cloud applications with LocalStack and Gitpod

Developing cloud applications can be cumbersome due to their many moving parts. LocalStack simplifies this process by providing a fully functional local AWS cloud stack that gives immediate feedback on changes without waiting for cloud resources, saving time and resources. Gitpod offers automated, ephemeral workspaces with all required tools and packages installed, allowing developers to work in multiple environments parallelly. Combining the development environment of Gitpod with the cloud sandbox provided by LocalStack minimizes friction when developing cloud applications and getting up and running within a few minutes. This setup enables developers to create reproducible environments, collaborate effectively, transition seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, and save costs by avoiding real cloud resource usage.
