Localstack is a platform that provides a local version of several cloud services, allowing you to simulate a development environment with AWS services. This allows you to debug and refine your code before deploying it to a production environment. For this reason, Localstack is a valuable tool for emulating essential AWS services such as object storage and message queues, among others.
Also, Localstack serves as an effective tool for learning to implement and deploy services using a Docker container without the need for an AWS account or the use of your credit card. In this tutorial, we create a Localstack container to implement the main functionalities of S3 services.
Boto3 is a 🐍 Python library that allows the integration with AWS services, facilitating various tasks such as creation, management, and configuration of these services.
There are two primary implementations within Boto3:
- Resource implementation: provides a higher-level, object-oriented interface, abstracting away low-level details and offering simplified interactions with AWS services.
- Client implementation: offers a lower-level, service-oriented interface, providing more granular control and flexibility for interacting with AWS services directly.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following installed:
- 🐳 Docker
- 🐙 Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/r0mymendez/LocalStack-boto3.git
cd LocalStack-boto3docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up --build
!pip install boto3
Discover the tutorial covering file creation, writing, and reading, also this tutorial has additional functionalities like building a static site, adding tags, and implementing versioning.
You will able to find the code in the 'boto3-tutorial.ipynb' notebook, which you'll perform a simple exercise demonstrating how to fetch data from a public API and store it in an S3 bucket using LocalStack services.
