Enhancing DevX with Local Cloud Emulators (AWS/Snowflake)

​Join us for an engaging evening focused on enhancing the cloud development experience through innovative tools and the LocalStack platform.

​What was once considered a pipe dream of a handful of open source maintainers, is increasingly becoming a widely adopted standard in the developer community: using high-fidelity emulators to develop cloud applications entirely on your local machine (even offline), enabling much faster feedback cycles, better debugging capabilities, and also cost savings.

​The space of cloud emulators has reached a remarkable level of sophistication - today offering advanced capabilities like chaos engineering, security/IAM testing, sharing of state snapshots, hybrid proxy setups, and more.

​This meetup aims to explore how these cutting-edge solutions can streamline development and testing processes, improve efficiency, and elevate the overall workflow for developers.

​Schedule:

• ​5:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Arrival and Networking

  • ​Mingle with fellow developers, share experiences, and make new connections over light refreshments.

• ​6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Live Demos, Q&A, and Free Discussion

  • ​Demo 1: Hands-on experiment with the LocalStack cloud emulator - Anca Ghenade [Developer Advocate]

    • ​Discover the power of LocalStack, a drop-in local replacement for AWS, as we deploy a real-world serverless application app on both AWS and LocalStack with minimal configuration.

    • ​Learn how to integrate LocalStack into your testing suite and DevOps workflows / CI pipelines.

  • ​Demo 2: Introducing the new Snowflake emulator - Waldemar Hummer [CTO @ LocalStack]

    • ​In the spirit of the Snowflake Data Cloud Summit, we’ll explore the capabilities of the LocalStack Snowflake emulator (which was just recently released).

    • ​See how it can be used to develop and test your data applications effectively.

    • ​Gain insights into optimizing your data workflows with this powerful tool.

• ​7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: More Networking & Refreshments
