Case Study: KnowBe4 speeds up local cloud development and testing with LocalStack

KnowBe4 cuts local Serverless invocations by 90% with LocalStack

KnowBe4, a computer and network security company, faced a challenge while migrating their monolithic PHP application to a serverless AWS model. Their engineers needed to understand and test new AWS technologies efficiently, but lacked a robust local development and testing framework. This led them to seek a solution from the vendor LocalStack.

LocalStack Pro provided the solution by enabling KnowBe4 to spin up various AWS services in a single Docker container for local development and testing. This implementation resulted in a 90% reduction in local serverless invocation times, slashing Lambda function creation and testing from 7-10 minutes in their CI pipeline to just a few seconds locally. LocalStack significantly increased developer productivity and speed for the KnowBe4 team.
