Feature description

Feature Description:

  • LocalStack is great for replicating cloud environments locally, but there’s no way to estimate what those resources would cost on real cloud providers.
  • I’d like to propose a local cost simulation feature that estimates approximate cloud bills, based on the resources created in LocalStack.
  • It would help developers predict infrastructure costs early, before deployment

Why it matters:

  • When testing serverless or infrastructure setups locally, it’s easy to lose track of how expensive they’d be in production.
  • Having a quick cost estimate helps:
  • Catch cost-heavy designs early
  • Build better cost-awareness into development
  • Make LocalStack even more useful for both developers and teams

If this sounds like a valuable addition, I’d be happy to help with the design or contribute to an initial prototype.
