Think you need to deploy to the cloud to build for the cloud? Think again.
In this talk, we’ll explore how to fake the cloud locally and why that’s actually a power move. From serverless workflows to pre-signed uploads and event-driven madness, we’ll walk through how to simulate complex AWS services right from your dev machine. No waiting on deploys. No surprise bills. No more debugging blind.
You’ll walk away with practical patterns for mocking cloud behavior, speeding up your feedback loop, and building resilient, testable apps without ever touching AWS. See it all in action with a serverless meme game that runs entirely off the cloud.
