LocalStack is a fully functional local AWS cloud stack that enables you to develop and test your cloud and serverless apps offline. It spins up an easy-to-use testing environment on your local machine that has the same APIs and works the same way as the real AWS cloud environment. It can spin up a number of different core Cloud APIs on your local machine, including API Gateway, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Firehose, Lambda and many others. LocalStack was built on some of today’s best-of-breed mocking/testing tools, combining them and making them interoperable, and adding important functionality such as error injection and pluggable services. ...

...With a traditional HTTP server, the server is online 24/7, processing requests one by one as they come in. If the queue of incoming requests grows too large, some requests will time out.

Each request then calls your application from a memory cache in AWS Lambda and returns the response via Python's WSGI interface. After your app returns, the "server" dies.
