How do you test an application that relies heavily on cloud services? Do you have a specific strategy for testing it, or do you simply run your tests regardless of the infrastructure costs?

Testing cloud applications doesn’t have to break the bank—or your sanity. With tools like Testcontainers and LocalStack (free and open-source tools), you can create robust and realistic tests that mimic production cloud services, all without costly infrastructure or complex setups.

By the end of this session, you will have actionable insights on how to optimize your testing process, lower your infrastructure costs, and ensure your cloud applications are ready for production.
