Summary

This is our third major release for LocalStack featuring both updates to our core services as well as auxiliary tooling. With our third major release for LocalStack we’re introducing improved service providers for ElastiCache, StepFunctions and S3, improved write performance in DynamoDB, increased Multi-Account and Multi-Region support and much more! A simplified networking configuration, new default container name and lots of internal refactoring to unify endpoint generation will help developers when testing their cloud applications locally.

Additionally to our core emulation in LocalStack we’ve released many additional features available in our Web Application such as IAM policy streams and a Chaos Engineering section to help you bulletproof your applications, both in terms of minimal permissions and increased robustness against failures. Our new Desktop application, LocalStack Desktop, has been released as the successor to our legacy Cockpit App and can be downloaded in the Web Application.

Several of these changes require a migration and we have done our best to make the migration for you as smooth as possible. Head to the How to migrate section and the linked resources there, to find out more. If you have trouble migrating to LocalStack 3.0 please reach out to us, we’re happy to help!

AWS Features

• Native v2 provider for StepFunctions (default since 3.0.0)
• Native v3 provider for S3 (default since 3.0.0)
• Pro New ElastiCache provider (default since 3.0.0)
• Huge performance improvements for DynamoDB write operations (1.6x for single PutItem and up to 10x for BatchWriteItem)
• Improved Multi-Account and Multi-Region support in multiple services such as CloudWatch, StepFunctions, EventBridge, Glue and more.
• The way ARNs are constructed internally has been significantly revamped. This change is particularly beneficial for users working with LocalStack in scenarios involving non-default account IDs or regions.
• Updating Lambda Event Source Mappings to point to different function versions has been fixed to now correctly switch the target and trigger the new version.
• We now offer both a Query and JSON-protocol support for SQS to support recent low-level changes in the SQS API
• DocumentDB has received support for MasterUsername and MasterUserPassword. With the feature flag DOCDB_PROXY_CONTAINER=1 a proxied container is started, and Lambda can connect to the container using LOCALSTACK_HOSTNAME
• RDS now actually uses MySQL (instead of MariaDB) if the engine mysql is used. It now also correctly returns only the hostname in the Endpoint field of responses to the CreateDBCluster operation.
• Lots of incremental improvements to CloudFormation

LocalStack Features

• We now create native M1 binaries of our CLI. When installing via Brew these are automatically selected for you depending on your CPU architecture.
• Since 3.0 we publish major tags. You can pin the current major version like this: localstack/localstack-pro:3 to stay on the latest tagged 3.x release but avoid unintentionally upgrading to the next major version.
• With 3.0 we’re also now for the first time publishing a stable tag, which will always point towards the latest tagged release.
• The localstack docker image is now based on Python 3.11 and Debian Bookworm
• The default container name for LocalStack is now localstack-main (previously localstack_main) to allow the use of the name in URLs.
• Networking configuration has been simplified by removing legacy options and moving to GATEWAY_LISTEN and LOCALSTACK_HOST. Check out our Discuss page for more information.
• Strict Service Loading allows you to define a strict subset of services to load via the SERVICES variable, e.g. SERVICES=s3 . Any services not listed here will now be prevented from loading.
• Lots of enhancements for LocalStack Extensions
• LocalStack Desktop is replacing the deprecated Cockpit Desktop UI
• The IAM policy stream is a new feature in our Web Application that allows you to see exactly which permissions are needed for the API calls you’re making in LocalStack.
• We’ve improved the Chaos Engineering capabilities of LocalStack, extending or FIS (Fault Injection Simulator) implementation and added a UI to interface with it in our Web Application.

Provider Deprecations

• StepFunctions legacy / v1 provider has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
• S3 v2 provider has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
• ElastiCache legacy provider has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.

Removals

• Lambda legacy / v1 provider has been removed.

• We’ve removed a lot of legacy code with this major release. If you’ve been using any internal constructs from localstack, e.g. via extensions, please make sure they are still working. Feel free to reach out to us if you need help migrating your extension.
• Community Cloud Pods have been removed.
• After its initial preview phase, AWS RAM is now part of our paid offering and will be further developed and integrated with our IAM enforcement in future releases.
• Configuration
  • DEFAULT_REGION, USE_SINGLE_REGION
  • ES_ENDPOINT_STRATEGY, ES_MULTI_CLUSTER, ES_CUSTOM_BACKEND

  • *_PORT_EXTERNAL
  • legacy LAMBDA_* settings, see the sections below for more details

How to migrate

Networking

We have published an extensive migration guide for our networking related changes on this Discuss page

• The default container name is renamed from localstack_main to localstack-main
  • Our default container name localstack_main is not a valid URL, so when the container name is used as a hostname, some libraries refuse to connect. With this release, we use the default container name of localstack-main. There may be breakages with tooling that expects the new container name, but a container is running with the old container name. Please update your tooling accordingly.
  • Most prominently, this is container name used in docker-compose files.
  • If you are using the LocalStack CLI, please just make sure to update to the latest version after the release. The CLI will handle this migration automatically.
• HOSTNAME_EXTERNAL and LOCALSTACK_HOSTNAME are removed in favor of LOCALSTACK_HOST
  • We are simplifying how to configure LocalStack by fully switching over to use LOCALSTACK_HOST to configure URLs returned by AWS services. Please update your usages of HOSTNAME_EXTERNAL (default: localhost) and LOCALSTACK_HOSTNAME to use LOCALSTACK_HOST (default: localhost.localstack.cloud:4566). You can find more details in our configuration documentation.

New default protocol for the SQS API

AWS recently updated the default protocol for the SQS API in many of their SDKs, which started breaking with LocalStack since we didn't have JSON support yet. With 3.0.0 we now support both protocols, but if you are still on 2.x a workaround would be to downgrade or pin your used SDK/tool version.

Here is the list with all the SDK versions where the issue will start appearing:

Language	SDK client repository	Required SDK client version
C++	aws/aws-sdk-cpp	1.11.98
Golang 1.x	aws/aws-sdk-go	v1.47.7
Golang 2.x	aws/aws-sdk-go-v2	v1.28.0
Java 1.x	aws/aws-sdk-java	1.12.585
Java 2.x	aws/aws-sdk-java-v2	2.21.19
JavaScript v2.x	aws/aws-sdk-js	v2.1492.0
JavaScript v3.x	aws/aws-sdk-js-v3	v3.447.0
.NET	aws/aws-sdk-net	3.7.681.0
PHP	aws/aws-sdk-php	3.285.2
Python-boto3	boto/boto3	1.28.82
Python-botocore	boto/botocore	1.31.82
awscli	AWS CLI	1.29.82
Ruby	aws/aws-sdk-ruby	1.67.0

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-json-faqs.html#json-protocol-supported-languages

Also, the Terraform AWS provider is also concerned by this issue, starting with 5.25.0

Strict Service Loading - SERVICES environment variable

With 3.0, we are introducing strict service loading based on the SERVICES environment variable.

In older versions of LocalStack, this variable defined the set of services which should be loaded by default. New versions of LocalStack load the services on-demand dynamically on their first invocation. With 3.0, the SERVICES variable will be used as a strict list of services that should be loaded. The loading of all other services will be prevented.

• If you are using the SERVICES environment variable, without using EAGER_SERVICE_LOADING, please remove the variable (it does not have any effect in your current config).
• If you are using the SERVICES environment variable in combination with EAGER_SERVICE_LOADING, please make sure it contains all services you are using. Any additional services (which would have been loaded on demand in pre-v3 versions of LocalStack) will not be loaded anymore.

Cloud Pods

In this 3.0 release, we are removing Community Cloud Pods. Moving forward, Cloud Pods will only be accessible to Pro/Team users. The handling of Cloud Pods in the local file system is now handled via the localstack state import/export commands.

S3

With 2.3.0 we introduced a new, opt-in, LocalStack-native, faster S3 provider with no external dependencies, improved parity, better memory usage, and better support for bucket versioning and multipart upload. With 3.0, we are promoting this provider to become the default!

S3_DIR is not supported anymore with the new provider. However, S3 persistence has been greatly improved, and you should be able to seed your data with Initialization hooks.

Besides that, users should be mostly unaffected, but may experience some breakage depending on previous behavior that was not aligned with AWS. Should you run into problems, you can, for now, activate the old provider with PROVIDER_OVERRIDE_S3=legacy_v2.

StepFunctions

We’re introducing a new native implementation of AWS StepFunctions. It comes with a number of additional features and improvements over the previous version. The update offers extended support for timeouts and heartbeats, state machine versioning, Map states, EventBridge integration, as well as support for the latest set of Intrinsic Functions. Enhanced API parity with AWS StepFunctions is also a key improvement delivered in this latest update. We’ll continue actively improving our new StepFunctions implementation. In the next months you can look forward to additional exciting features such as express workflows, more service integrations, express workflows, activity support and more. Adopting this new native implementation now allows us to add features and resolve issues faster than before.

In case you run into issues, you can, for now, use the legacy provider using PROVIDER_OVERRIDE_STEPFUNCTIONS=legacy. Please note that this fallback will be removed with the next major version, so please start migrating your workloads to the new default provider over the next months.

See our Announcement post on Discuss for more details.

ElastiCache

ElastiCache in LocalStack has been completely re-written. The new ElastiCache implementation provides much better parity with AWS and resolves some issues around Redis cluster management in the previous provider. In case you run into issues, you can, for now, use the legacy provider using PROVIDER_OVERRIDE_ELASTICACHE=legacy.

Multi-Region and Multi-Account Support in SQS and IoT endpoints

In order to improve the multi-account and multi-region support for SQS and IoT, the endpoints generated for certain resources of these services (like SQS queues, or IoT endpoints) now contain the account ID and the region.

When using these services, please do not make any assumptions on the URLs generated by LocalStack, but use the URLs returned in the responses.

• For SQS queues, please use the QueueUrl contained in responses to CreateQueue operation.
• For IoT endpoints, please use the endpointAddress contained in responses to the DescribeEndpoint operation.

Performance improvements for DynamoDB write operations

We’ve massively improved write performance for DynamoDB in LocalStack, with our benchmarks showing a 60% faster PutItem operation. Using higher batch sizes will profit even more from this change, with BatchWriteItem now being 6.2x faster for 10 items and 9.9x faster for 25 items. That means if you’re populating a large DynamoDB table, you can now take advantage of much faster insertion times! For the best performance please set DYNAMODB_IN_MEMORY=1, but even without this, you should still notice a significant performance improvement.

Please note that setting DYNAMODB_IN_MEMORY will disable persistence support for DynamoDB.

Multi-Account and Multi-Region support

Multi-account and multi-region support continues to be improved in LocalStack. There is broader support for IAM enforcement for inter-service integrations. Various services now have improved multi-accounts awareness, including the new StepFunctions provider, SQS, CloudWatch, EventBridge and more. We also have revamped how ARNs are constructed internally which will result in improved ARN accuracy.

Other notable changes

• The IoT services (iot, iot-analytics, iot-data, iot-wireless) do not ship with their third-party packages pre-installed in the Docker image anymore.
  • Instead, these packages will be downloaded on-demand when the services need them. This helps reducing the Docker image size for all users.
  • Please configure the volume directory to cache packages that are downloaded on-demand.
• RDS now actually uses MySQL (instead of MariaDB) if the engine mysql is used.
  • Up until now, the engine mysql would always create a mariadb instance behind the scenes.
  • With 3.0 we change this behavior, and RDS will create a real mysql instance in a new docker container. The image will be taken from the official MySQL image on Dockerhub, and the EngineVersion defines the image-tag that will be used.
  • Should you run into problems, you can, for now, set RDS_MYSQL_DOCKER=0.
• RDS now correctly returns only the hostname in the Endpoint field of responses to the CreateDBCluster operation.
  • Previously, this field also contained the port, however the port has its own field in the response.
  • Should you run into problems, you can, for now, set RDS_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT_HOST_ONLY=0.
• After its initial preview phase, AWS RAM is now part of our paid offering and will be further developed and integrated with our IAM enforcement in future releases.
