Smarter Serverless Dev with LocalStack: VS Code Toolkit & Lambda Debugging
Details
Join our September meetup to learn how to supercharge your serverless development workflow using the AWS Toolkit for VS Code with LocalStack.
Joel Scheuner will walk you through how the toolkit integrates seamlessly with LocalStack to enable faster, smarter Lambda development and debugging — all without needing a live AWS account. You’ll see how to:
- Configure the AWS Toolkit for VS Code to connect with LocalStack
- Deploy and test Lambda functions locally with full AWS emulation
- Set breakpoints and debug functions directly from your IDE
- Iterate quickly on serverless code with minimal setup overhead
Through live demos, you’ll gain a practical understanding of how LocalStack turns VS Code into a powerful environment for developing, testing, and debugging AWS serverless applications, entirely from your laptop.
We’ll also be joined by an AWS engineer who will share their experience and insights from the field.
Whether you’re a serverless beginner or an experienced AWS developer, this session will give you the tools to code with confidence and streamline your Lambda workflows.
