LocalStack and Quali are joining forces for this online meetup to explore cutting-edge strategies for streamlining cloud development and deployment with LocalStack. This session features expert-led talks on simplifying serverless best practices with AWS Lambda Powertools and enhancing deployment workflows using LocalStack’s integration with Quali Torque.

This event will be hosted on YouTube Live. Once registered, you’ll receive a link and calendar invite with YouTube Live details. You can view the live stream, participate by chat, or join Q&A.

This webinar will include the following sessions:

Unlocking ease of use for deployment across LocalStack and AWS

Speaker:  David Ben Shabat, VP of R&D, Quali

When it comes to productivity, developer experience is more than just a buzzword. Creating an intuitive developer experience could help you get more out of LocalStack by democratizing access, cutting out manual tasks, and making environments more easily interchangeable between LocalStack and AWS. On a day-to-day basis, this could mean fewer tickets, less time spent creating environments, and more time on the important work that your environments support.

This demo session will show how LocalStack’s new integration with Quali Torque can accelerate deployment on both LocalStack and AWS by:

• Using generative AI to create reusable environment templates that can be deployed to LocalStack and AWS interchangeably in just a few clicks.
• Providing a self-service catalog for your teams to find and provision environments quickly and easily—and without access to create or modify resource configurations.
• Simplifying the deployment experience by eliminating complexity and security requirements to run environments on AWS.
• Tracking all activity to identify performance issues for LocalStack deployments and wasted cloud costs for AWS deployments proactively.

Serverless Best Practices with AWS Lambda PowerTools

Speaker: Brian Rinaldi, Developer Relations Lead, LocalStack

For one-off tasks, AWS Lambda really can be incredibly easy. You write a few lines of code, deploy it, and you have a function running in the cloud ready to respond to events, scale automatically, and that only costs you pennies. But as your application grows, so does some necessary complexity. When a few one-off functions become a full serverless backend architecture made up of interconnected services, you’ll need to pay careful attention to best practices to ensure that your application is easy to debug, maintain, and scale. That’s where AWS Powertools for Lambda fits in. It’s a suite of reusable utilities designed to simplify bringing best practices around things like logging, tracing, metrics, idempotency and more to your Lambda functions with minimal effort.

This demo session will dive into some of the functionality provided by the AWS Powertools (TypeScript) core libraries, such as:

• Encapsulating best practices into reusable libraries for structured logging, metrics collection, idempotency, and more.
• Leveraging Middy middleware to integrate common cross-cutting concerns, such as injecting Lambda context or automatically flushing metric.
• Enabling local testing with LocalStack, allowing you to deploy and debug Lambda functions with structured logs, trace data, and embedded metrics.
• Providing modular examples that can be deployed to AWS or LocalStack with ease, enabling developers to explore libraries.
