Community Event — Simplifying Microservices development, and testing AWS Spring Boot apps locally

In the previous events, we discussed various use cases and integrations with LocalStack, and how you can accelerate your local cloud development with them! In this installment, we will feature two real-world use cases for LocalStack — An open-source project to help beginners gain insight into the inner workings of microservices and a Spring Boot app that can continue to thrive in development, even without the production-ready bells and whistles.

In the first session, Sacha Wharton showcases an open-source project that he is building to open up the Microservices world and give visibility to developers so that it does not feel like you are developing with a blindfold on. Sacha showcases how you can use LocalStack Docker Extension to develop against AWS services running locally and create an immutable setup with Docker, Kubectl, Helm, Kind, and Terraform.

In the second session, Anca Ghenade showcases how you can leverage one of the core features of the Spring framework that allows us to bind our beans to different profiles and configure our development & production environments to test your IaC and cloud infrastructure. She presents her Spring Boot application that uses high-fidelity emulations to run directly on your machine and preserve the behavior we see on AWS with LocalStack!

I think that there was too much time done giving a sales pick to Ortelius, I would liked to first speaker to go more into Localstack and less into is own project
