Host a static website using a Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket to serve static content by provisioning the infrastructure using Terraform in LocalStack. Learn how to configure S3 buckets locally for testing and integration, and make use of LocalStack’s S3 API & tflocal CLI to provision infrastructure locally.
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.
This tutorial guides you through using LocalStack’s new extension that supports Terraform configuration files as initialization hooks. You’ll learn how to leverage this feature and integrate it with Testcontainers to simplify testing cycles, making the process more efficient and closely aligned with real AWS infrastructure practices.
