To provide a more reliable and streamlined experience, we are consolidating our development into a single, unified image. As part of this transition, this repository is now archived and read-only.
This decision reflects our commitment to reducing fragmentation and focusing our resources on building the most robust AWS emulation layer possible. We are deeply grateful to the contributors who helped make this project into what it is today–your work remains integral to the future of the LocalStack ecosystem.
What this means for your workflow:

LocalStack for AWS offers a range of options including a free Hobby plan for non-commercial use with the same capabilities as this project.
Your input is still vital to us. Please continue to share bug reports here and submit feature requests here or join our Slack Community.

Thank you for your continued support as we grow together.

☑️ LocalStack coverage

Overview
LocalStack is a cloud service emulator that runs in a single container on your laptop or in your CI environment. With LocalStack, you can run your AWS applications or Lambdas entirely on your local machine without connecting to a remote cloud provider! Whether you are testing complex CDK applications or Terraform configurations, or just beginning to learn about AWS services, LocalStack helps speed up and simplify your testing and development workflow.
LocalStack supports a growing number of AWS services, like AWS Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, SQS, SNS, and many more! The Pro version of LocalStack supports additional APIs and advanced features. You can find a comprehensive list of supported APIs on our ☑️ Feature Coverage page.
LocalStack also provides additional features to make your life as a cloud developer easier! Check out LocalStack's User Guides for more information.
Install
The quickest way to get started with LocalStack is by using the LocalStack CLI. It enables you to start and manage the LocalStack Docker container directly through your command line. Ensure that your machine has a functional docker environment installed before proceeding.
Brew (macOS or Linux with Homebrew)
Install the LocalStack CLI through our official LocalStack Brew Tap:
brew install localstack/tap/localstack-cli
Binary download (macOS, Linux, Windows)
If Brew is not installed on your machine, you can download the pre-built LocalStack CLI binary directly:

Visit localstack/localstack-cli and download the latest release for your platform.
Extract the downloaded archive to a directory included in your PATH variable:

For macOS/Linux, use the command: sudo tar xvzf ~/Downloads/localstack-cli-*-darwin-*-onefile.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin

PyPI (macOS, Linux, Windows)
LocalStack is developed using Python. To install the LocalStack CLI using pip, run the following command:
python3 -m pip install localstack
The localstack-cli installation enables you to run the Docker image containing the LocalStack runtime. To interact with the local AWS services, you need to install the awslocal CLI separately. For installation guidelines, refer to the awslocal documentation.

Important: Do not use sudo or run as root user. LocalStack must be installed and started entirely under a local non-root user. If you have problems with permissions in macOS High Sierra, install with pip install --user localstack

Quickstart
Start LocalStack inside a Docker container by running:
% localstack start -d

LocalStack is a comprehensive cloud software development framework designed to facilitate the development and testing of applications within an AWS environment, entirely locally. The project, spearheaded by the LocalStack team, provides a fully functional local AWS cloud stack, enabling developers to create and test applications—including those leveraging Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, SQS, and SNS—without relying on external cloud providers. This framework is structured around a core Docker container, simplifying setup and execution.

The project’s core functionality centers around the LocalStack CLI, offering a streamlined interface for managing and running the LocalStack container, and the awslocal CLI for interacting with services like SQS. A key feature is the consolidation of development efforts into a unified image, driven by a commitment to reducing fragmentation and optimizing resource allocation within the LocalStack ecosystem. This transition emphasizes a focused approach to building the most robust AWS emulation layer.

For users, LocalStack provides a range of options including a free Hobby plan suitable for non-commercial use, mirroring the capabilities of the project. A crucial element of the framework is the substantial documentation available, encompassing detailed instructions for installation, quickstart procedures, usage guidelines, and release information. The framework supports multiple deployment methods, including LocalStack CLI, Docker, Docker Compose, and Helm, catering to diverse development preferences. Graphical user interfaces such as the LocalStack Web Application and Desktop applications further enhance usability.

The project’s success is underscored by a growing community and a robust contributor base. It actively encourages contributions through a comprehensive contributing guide, development environment setup instructions, and issue tracking. Support is readily accessible via the LocalStack Slack Community and GitHub issue tracker, allowing developers to report issues, request features, and obtain assistance. The framework benefits from backing and sponsorship through Open Collective, fostering ongoing development and maintenance. The project licenses its code under the Apache License, Version 2.0, promoting open access and collaboration. Ultimately, LocalStack streamlines the development and testing lifecycle for cloud applications, offering a cost-effective and isolated environment for innovation.
