Practicalli Amazon Web Services (AWS)λ︎

Amazon web services are an ever increasing and evolving set of Cloud services to support a wide range of deployment requirements for custom software services. AWS also includes a growing number of off-the-shelf services, especially in the realm of data science.

Practicalli content focuses on tools and services the team has used for commercial projects, so will not cover all services offered

Localstack provides AWS services locally

Use Localstack instead of creating an account if only using the services locally.

Localstack implements many of the AWS services, although some services are only commercially available
