Sometimes it's useful whilst developing applications using the Serverless framework to be able to use local AWS resources instead of always accessing a real AWS account.
It's not currently possible to configure resources using the serverless.yml file against local AWS resources because it gives no chance to configure the AWS Endpoints that it'll use the AWS SDK to configure. Leaving not many options on how to develop in a truly local fashion.
This plugin will use the global AWS.config object to set endpoints for services based from environment variables.
Set into the environment variables one of the endpoint strings it expects. It should also work if these values are put into the .env file as well
These map exactly onto the AWS.config.* variables that you will find in the document AWS.config SDK page. This simply maps services that were necessary for building dockerised projects locally. It's not an exhaustive list.
