LocalStack Gitpod Demo

Simple demo for running LocalStack in Gitpod

Use this button to launch a Gitpod workspace with LocalStack: Open in Gitpod

Demo application

To run the sample cloud application entirely within the Gitpod environment, using LocalStack, follow the steps:

  1. First open the demo repo application in Gitpod Workspace
  2. On opening the demo, gitpod.yml configures the project by installing the tools and running the app.
  3. Upon deployment, the sample app opens a network port 3000 that serves the Web application of the example.
  4. Gitpod opens the demo app in the browser that sends API requests to the LocalStack edge endpoint on 4566 port, which then gets forwarded to the LocalStack instance running within the remote Gitpod environment.

You can also watch the video, which thoroughly walks you through the whole process, or refer to the blog - LocalStack x Gitpod - Run cloud applications with LocalStack and Gitpod.
