Cloud Pods Launchpad

The LocalStack Cloud Pods Launchpad offers the easiest way of sharing and injecting cloud pods directly from your repositories or via a simple URL.

The LocalStack Cloud Pods Launchpad allows you to quickly share and inject cloud pods into a LocalStack instance.

Navigate to https://app.localstack.cloud/launchpad where you can create a sharable link for your pods.

Cloud Pods Launchpad Link Generator

Enter a public URl to your pod in the first input field, and click on ‘Generate Link’. The resulting link can be copied and shared with others.

You can also copy the markdown snippet to quickly add a badge to your repository.

Adding a badge to your repository

If you want to add a badge to your README that links to the Cloud Pod Launchpad, you can use the following markdown snippet:

[![Launch LocalStack Cloudpod](https://localstack.cloud/gh/launch-pod-badge.svg)](https://app.localstack.cloud/launchpad?url=url_of_your_pod)

Cloud Pods Badge Demonstration

Please note that you have to add the url_of_your_pod as the url query parameter to the URL. For example if you are hosting the pod in the same repository, just use the URL pointing to the raw pod file. Additionally, you can use the Link Generator to create the sharable link for your pod and copy the markdown for your repo.

Check out a proper example on this GitHub repository.

Troubleshooting common problems

Failed to load metadata

In case the launchpad fails to load the metadata of your pod, you will see the following error message:

This can happen if the pod is not available anymore or if the URL is not valid. Please check the URL and try again.

Failed to inject pod

In case the launchpad fails to inject the pod into your LocalStack instance, you will see ‘Pod injection failed’ in the log message. This may be due to a couple of reasons, like version mismatch. Please check out your LocalStack logs for more information.
