Community support is provided on a best-effort basis and is not guaranteed. We also encourage you to help others in the community by answering questions and sharing your experiences.

LocalStack Discuss

LocalStack Discuss allows our community users to ask questions, share ideas, and discuss topics related to LocalStack. To create a new topic on Discuss, follow these steps:

  • Create a new account on LocalStack Discuss by clicking the Sign Up button.
  • Once you have created an account, you can create a new topic by clicking the New Topic button.

LocalStack Discuss is public, allowing us to keep a record of these questions and answers for the larger community to use over time. However, you should avoid sharing any sensitive information on the platform (such as Auth Tokens, private configuration, etc.).

LocalStack Slack Community

LocalStack Slack Community includes LocalStack users, contributors, and maintainers. If you need help with the community version of LocalStack, please use the #help channel. You can sign up for the LocalStack Slack Community by creating an account.

However, the messages on Slack are not accessible after three months, so it is not the best place to ask questions that may be useful to others in the future. For that, we recommend using LocalStack Discuss.
