LocalStack
💻 A fully functional local AWS cloud stack. Develop and test your cloud & Serverless apps offline
But it didn't start that way. When first starting with serverless, I struggled a lot. I was used to running applications and their dependencies locally during development. With serverless, this proved to be a lot more difficult. There are tools like LocalStack, but back then, it wasn't as mature as it is today. I struggled to find a good balance between rapid feedback and confidence that what I built was working.

SaltStack
Software to automate the management and configuration of infrastructure and applications at scale.
Of course, booting from a disk is not the only option. If you want to automate installs across servers - you have to boot from the network. That is something you could play around with, in GNS3 for example, using FAI or your own system based on SaltStack. You could skip the installation altogether, and use a Live Image, or a Thin Client.

Colmena is a tool to manage multiple NixOS systems. It is similar to NixOps but fancier in spirit. I am not sure about the size of its userbase, but I do not see many other alternatives to my liking except NixOps4 and deploy-rs. So far, I am happy with it, so is my team.
