Compact, informative and nothing extraneous... just how I like tech videos!!

Hello, thank you for the tutorial! I am wondering if there is a way how to do this easier - etc. having an extra layer - config file with TEST and PROD environment that would be used as a source. Therefore if it is possible to have standard terraform file where just environment would be switched, delivering either localstack or aws configuration and no other changes would be necessary for the files and the lambda function code.
This is quite laborious and requires a lot of changes which breaks the rule of having an environment for testing as close to the production.

Did you encounter any good practice for such use between aws and locastack?

Hi Pablo, Can you please share your github repo for the code in this video

localstack is a great idea but the poor docs and no UI makes it a bit of a pain.
