serverless-offline-localstack

Serverless Plugin to support running against Localstack.

This plugin allows any requests to AWS to be redirected to a running Localstack instance. It also supports a poller to consume messages off of a Kinesis stream.

WARNING: This plugin is very much a WIP

Pre-requisites:

Installation

The easiest way to get started is to install via npm.

npm install --save-dev serverless-offline-localstack

Configuring Serverless

There are two ways to configure the plugin, via a JSON file or via serverless.yml. There are two supported methods for configuring the endpoints, globally via the "host" property, or individually. These properties may be mixed, allowing for global override support while also override specific endpoints.

A "host" or individual endpoints must be configured or this plugin will be deactivated.

Configuring endpoints via serverless.yml

service: myService

plugins:
  - serverless-offline-localstack

custom:
  serverlessOfflineLocalstack:
    host: http://localhost
    kinesis:
      enabled: true
      intervalMillis: 5000
    endpoints:
      S3: http://localhost:4572
      DynamoDB: http://localhost:4570
      CloudFormation: http://localhost:4581
      Elasticsearch: http://localhost:4571
      ES: http://localhost:4578
      SNS: http://localhost:4575
      SQS: http://localhost:4576
      Lambda: http://localhost:4574
      Kinesis: http://localhost:4568

Configuring endpoints via JSON

    endpointFile: path/to/file.json

Configuring the AWS SDK

To configure the AWS SDK with these endpoints, use the following as soon as possible in your entry point

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const ServerlessOfflineLocalstack = require('serverless-offline-localstack');
ServerlessOfflineLocalstack.configureAWS(AWS);
