Summary

In this chapter, we managed to spin a cloud-based infrastructure locally on our workstation in a seamless way. We configured the equivalent mock components for the AWS services DynamoDB, SQS and S3. Through our Compose configuration, we managed to configure them and also tackle some limitations that happen during local development. This gave us the option to develop our code base upon those services without the need to interact with an actual production environment.

Next, we proceeded to implement services suitable for the AWS Lambda environment. We successfully run those Lambda functions through our Compose application while making them eligible for deployment to a cloud environment. Last but not least, we simulated some functionality that AWS provides by introducing a local private application. Through the course of this chapter, there was no need to interact with the AWS console and a real production environment, and the focus remained on the development of the code...
