AWS Application Composer is a huge step in visually designing AWS architectures. It allows you to quickly prototype your #serverless applications and deploy them using AWS Sam. Check this out!
Why I minimize emulator use when developing #serverless applications. A thread.
Early on in my serverless career I was one of the the many who attempted to emulate as much of the cloud as possible on my machine. 1/8
I used LocalStack, LambCI, Serverless Plugins, SAM local, Local DynamoDB, and others. The problem I found was two-fold. The first was that the emulators, even the AWS ones, were a shadow of the actual service they were emulating. 2/8
Especially with third-party emulators, there was no way to ensure they were processing data the same as the actual services. I would find myself struggling to fix a bug that was introduced, not by my code, but by the emulator. 3/8
