SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

KECS development relies on LocalStack; this guide clarifies which services are available at Free/Base/Ultimate tiers, helping plan capabilities and costs for local development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered service availability: Quickly understand which AWS-like services are available at each LocalStack tier.
  • Cost planning: Helps decide when to upgrade for services like ECS that are not free.
  • Use Case: Plan a KECS environment using only free-tier services and LocalStack experiments.

Quick Start

Start LocalStack Free tier and configure AWS_ENDPOINT_URL to http://localhost:4566. Then consult this reference to confirm service availability.

Frequently Asked Questions about LocalStack Service Tiers Reference

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Which AWS services are available in LocalStack Free tier for local development?▼

LocalStack Free tier includes S3, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, IAM, SecretsManager, KMS, SSM, STS, CloudWatch, and Lambda. Services like ECS require paid tiers. Check the tier matrix to confirm service availability before building your local environment.

How do I set up LocalStack for free-tier testing in KECS development?▼

Start LocalStack Free tier and configure AWS_ENDPOINT_URL to http://localhost:4566. Then reference the service tiers guide to confirm which AWS-compatible services you can use without upgrading to Base or Ultimate tiers.

Do I need to pay for LocalStack if I only use free services like S3 and DynamoDB?▼

No. LocalStack Free tier provides S3, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and other core services at no cost. Upgrade only if you need services restricted to paid tiers, such as ECS for container orchestration in KECS.

What services require a paid LocalStack tier instead of Free?▼

Services like ECS are not available in LocalStack Free tier. Consult the tier coverage matrix to identify which services in your KECS development plan require Base or Ultimate tier subscriptions and plan costs accordingly.

Can I use LocalStack Free tier to test both serverless and container workloads locally?▼

LocalStack Free tier supports Lambda for serverless testing. Container orchestration with ECS requires a paid tier. Plan your local KECS environment to match available services in your chosen tier.
