LocalStack VS serverless-patterns

Later you can use any S3 compatible storage because the code I write will still work, but for testing purposes on my local machine, I will use LocalStack:

To give this a slightly different spin:

--> "The best optimization is simply not spinning things up."

At least for local development and testing, as made possible by LocalStack (https://localstack.cloud), among other local testing solutions and emulators.

We've seen so many teams fall into the trap of "someone forgot to shut down dev resource X for a week and now we've racked up a $$$ bill on AWS".

What is everyone's strategy to avoid this kind of situation? Tools like `aws-nuke` (https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke) are awesome (!) to clean up unused resources, but frankly they should not be necessary in the first place.

(For others who hadn't heard of it: localstack is

O Localstack: https://localstack.cloud/, é um recurso que possibilita simular diversos recursos AWS (dynamoDB, s3, iam, cognito, ses), dentro da sua máquina, utilizando o docker.

You may be aware of Serverlessland, a treasure trove of developer-centered content and examples of serverless applications. I decided to take one of their more popular (and AI-focused) tutorials, titled “Use GenAI capabilities to build a chatbot”, and recreate it with App Composer and our trusty AI assistant. Here we go!

Serverless Land is a place with a ton of serverless resources.

If you're looking for examples, you can check out my GitHub, it's full of SAM templates that cover a wide range of use cases. Serverless Land is another fantastic resource full of reference material. If you are trying to build something but can't quite figure it out in SAM, remember - it's all just CloudFormation. Browse the docs to see how to define that stubborn resource.

I will use dynamodb-streams-to-eventbridge-outbox-pattern by David Boyne as an example.

This is definitely not the most common pattern. As an independent data point, you can look at the AWS-maintained serverlessland.com, where ALL the patterns that include SNS and SQS are going SNS > SQS.

For all my associated exams I used Mareek/TD, labs and for SAP also went through SAP course of A. Cantrill, also tools like https://serverlessland.com/ and aws event talks on YouTube can help you understand concepts.

For serverless, serverlessland.com

If you’re using AWS serverlessland is maintained by AWS and has great resources
