Replicating development environments ensures that all developers, regardless of their local machine configurations or operating systems, work within an environment that closely mirrors production. This consistency helps identify and solve environment-specific issues early in the development cycle, reducing the “it works on my machine” problem where code behaves differently on different developers’ machines.
Utilize the LocalStack Outages Extension to simulate service disruptions and assess how well your infrastructure can deploy and recover from unexpected situations. This tool helps you test the resilience of your system by creating controlled outage scenarios, allowing you to identify and improve upon weaknesses.
