The Lambda application is not simple to test locally in LocalStack. Some services are not just plug-and-play. If LocalStack provided more plug-and-play features to run, it would improve the developer experience. I chose a rating of 8 out of 10 because there is always room to improve. LocalStack is good, and some features can be improved as I mentioned before.

LocalStack can be improved as it is currently not fully compatible with AWS services in each case, and there are limited features right now in that service. Additionally, only some of the services are free, and sometimes things work on LocalStack locally but fail on AWS. There is a performance limit, so I want those things to get improved.

LocalStack could be improved by adding more feedback when you use the CLI. I had to always use some other call in order to verify my operation.
