Overview

LocalStack supports a wide range of tools from the cloud development ecosystem. This section of the documentation covers tools that are officially supported by LocalStack.

The Cloud Development Ecosystem

Cloud development has many facets and a rich ecosystem of tools to cover them. Whether you are using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to manage your AWS infrastructure, or are developing applications using AWS SDKs like boto, LocalStack allows you to run your workflow completely on your local machine.

Integrations

We strive to make the integration of LocalStack into your workflow as seamless as possible. Sometimes it’s as easy as calling one of our wrapper tools, like awslocal, a drop-in replacement for the aws CLI. Other times there is a bit of configuration involved.
