Overview

If you already run an application on AWS, you almost certainly connect to it through familiar tools — the AWS CLI, an AWS SDK, an Infrastructure as Code tool such as Terraform or AWS CDK, or an IDE plugin. Running that same application against LocalStack means continuing to use those tools; you only need to point them at LocalStack instead of AWS.

AWS CLI

Use AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to create local AWS resources with LocalStack.

AWS SDKs

Use LocalStack with AWS SDKs to manage your AWS resources locally.

LocalStack Console

Use the LocalStack web app as a local equivalent of the AWS Console to inspect and manage resources running on LocalStack.

IDE Extensions

Connect to LocalStack from your IDE — install, configure, run, and inspect LocalStack without leaving your editor.

Infrastructure as Code

Deploy resources to LocalStack using the same Infrastructure as Code tools you already use against AWS.
