Previously we looked at using Localstack to emulate AWS services and speed up the feedback loop during development. In this short post we’re going to look at how to integrate this tool with Terraform to perform some simple testing that can emulate our builds for free and give us some confidence in our code before running it. This post will assume that you have Localstack installed and running. If not, . . .
One of the challenges that seems to crop up pretty frequently is reliably simulating a cloud platform or application without having to tediously configure a sandbox environment for every little change. Even when a sandbox is present, the cost of operating them can quickly run out of control and can still need several people to implement even a small change. Localstack is an emulator for an ever growing number of . . .
