AWS is announcing integrated LocalStack support in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code that makes it easier than ever for developers to test and debug serverless applications locally. This enhancement builds upon our recent improvements to the Lambda development experience, including the console to IDE integration and remote debugging capabilities we launched in July 2025, continuing our commitment to simplify serverless development on AWS.

Amazon DocumentDB Serverless automatically scales capacity up or down in fine-grained increments based on your application’s demand, offering up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity.

Developers can now build serverless applications faster through seamless console-to-IDE transition and debugging of functions running in the cloud from local IDE.

AWS introduces specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for Amazon ECS, EKS, Finch and AWS Serverless, providing real-time contextual responses and service-specific guidance to guide AI assisted application development.

Gain deep visibility into AWS Lambda performance with CloudWatch Application Signals, eliminating manual monitoring complexities and improving serverless app health.
