Deploy and invoke Lambda functions in LocalStack using VS Code Extension

LocalStack is a cloud service emulator designed for local development and testing of cloud applications. With LocalStack's Lambda emulation, you can deploy and invoke Lambda functions locally.

In the past year, we introduced the LocalStack VS Code Extension, enabling you to deploy and invoke Lambda functions directly from your code editor. This video provides a step-by-step guide on setting up the LocalStack VS Code Extension, utilizing a sample application deployed through the Serverless Application Model (SAM). Furthermore, we will delve into the process of viewing and managing locally created resources through the LocalStack Resource Browser.
