Localstack is a total mess, cryptic errors, it either works flawless or with lots of bugs.

I definitely like the idea of using AWS services as much as possible, unfortunately each dev getting their own account was shut down by my current employer.



I found the state of their documentation absolutely unacceptable. They also do blatantly misleading advertising stuff. They’ve got a huge list of “supported features” which either was once true or is an intentional misrepresentation. And they boast a “slack community with 10k+ users!” Although that may be technically true, in reality there are probably less than a dozen active users.
