**What do you like best about LocalStack?**

LocalStack helps emulate resources in your local environment. For us, it has been very useful in mocking AWS resources for local development and makes that workflow easier as we don't have to maintain our own custom solution.

**What do you dislike about LocalStack?**

LocalStack doesn't entirely have feature parity and can sometimes be a bit fiddly to set up. It requires a lot fo reading through docs and debugging to get going.

**What problems is LocalStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LocalStack is helping our development workflow by allowing us to mock resources and therefore ensures fast development as we can run and debug changes locally before rolling them out to other environments.
