whummer | 2 years ago | on: Cutting down AWS cost by $150k per year simply by shutting things off
To give this a slightly different spin:
--> "The best optimization is simply not spinning things up!"
At least for local development and testing, as made possible by LocalStack (https://localstack.cloud), among other local testing solutions and emulators.
We've seen so many teams fall into the trap of "someone forgot to shut down dev resource X for a week and now we've racked up a $$$ bill on AWS".
What is everyone's strategy to avoid this kind of situation? Tools like `aws-nuke` (https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke) are awesome (!) to clean up unused resources, but frankly they should not be necessary in the first place...

whummer | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: I made a local development, debugging and hotreload tool for AWS Lambda
Disclaimer: I'm the co-founder and CTO of LocalStack (https://localstack.cloud)
This looks awesome, congrats Serkan and team! Indeed, looks similar to SST, with the extensions you've mentioned.
I can see this becoming very useful if you want the local debuggability of Lambdas in your IDE, with code running remotely. (i.e., not leveraging locally emulated services)
Looking forward to giving it a whirl and see how it can integrate with (or even run against) LocalStack..! :) Keep up the great work!

whummer | 3 years ago | on: LocalStack and AWS Parity Explained
Great point. Fully agree that providing a first-class local development experience is critical to the overall story of application development frameworks.
I guess the main difference is that frameworks like Serverless provide a great experience if you fully buy into their way of doing things (i.e., implement your application assets in the Serverless YAML DSL, etc), whereas LocalStack is a generic platform that works on the API emulation level, hence easily integrates with most tooling out of the box.
Making the switch from Serverless to, say, AWS CDK, or AWS SAM, or Architect framwork may not be as seamless - however, for each of these frameworks you can always run the local emulation natively on LocalStack. This can help reduce the overall vendor lock-in effect that a lot of application development frameworks come with.
In fact, LocalStack also provides an integration with Serverless [0] - among many other tools [1].
