Cloud Integration Testing Made Easy for AWS Cloud Apps
summary
Shows a Spring Boot demo that stores images to S3, triggers a Lambda to watermark them, writes metadata to DynamoDB and uses SNS/SQS and server‑sent events; the same Terraform script provisions resources on real AWS and on Local Stack so tests run with high parity. Uses testcontainers to spin up the Local Stack container in CI (GitHub Actions), uses a Lambda waiter to ensure functions are cloud pods‑ready, and claims tests are fast, ephemeral, and cost‑controlled.
