Develop and test your AWS applications locally to reduce development time and increase product velocity. Reduce unnecessary AWS spend and remove the complexity and risk of maintaining AWS dev accounts.

We are a young, fast-growing start-up building cutting-edge technology to revolutionize cloud development processes and support highly efficient dev & test feedback loops. Our mission is to empower developers to rapidly build and test their cloud applications, saving valuable time and resources.

Giving Developers Control Back

At LocalStack, we believe that empowering developers and giving them full control over their environments is the key to driving innovation. We live and breathe developer experience in everything we do, and have set out to pursue the audacious goal of seamlessly integrating and complementing the centralized nature of the cloud with our suite of tools that allow developers to build decentralized dev & test loops for full flexibility, control, and unprecedented cloud development speed.

Our mission is to give developers back control over their environments and free them from wasting time with inefficient dev & test loops in the cloud, so they can instead focus on developing great products to solve the world's problems.

What we Stand for

People first: People come first, as they are at the heart of everything we do. We're on a mission to build a product that developers love, and a workplace where everyone thrives. When people enjoy what they work on, who they work with, and how they work, productivity will follow. This is true for us just as it is for our customers.

One size does not fit all: People first also means realizing that everyone is different, and needs different things to be productive. A person may be held back in one environment, but thrive in another. The same is true for projects and how we work on them. We embrace diverse work styles and empower individuals to be their best taking all their unique strengths and weakness into account.

Through failure we learn: We are a young and growing company venturing into the unknown. Whatever we do right now may not work three months from now. We may introduce processes or tools that we think are a good idea, but turn out not to work. Question the status quo and put forth new ideas, backed by informed arguments. Own it when they fail! If we accept and embrace these failures, we can learn together and ultimately grow closer as a team.

Embracing distributed decision making: We believe in the power of individual ownership and distributed decision making. As a young and dynamic organization we can only scale if we have efficient mechanisms in place that prevent bottlenecks. Distributed decision making is all about trust—which we can achieve by focusing on transparency, accountability, and feedback mechanisms.
