title: How to test AWS resources locally with constraints
body: <p>I am having trouble testing my application locally, due to my machine having memory constraints.</p>
  
  <p>My application utilizes about 10 different microservices where each service has shared/non-shared AWS resources. Up until now, I've been using <code>localstack</code> to deploy all required AWS mock services and docker to spin up the other dependent microservices. However, I think the overall system has gotten too large for my machine to handle. The only option I could think of is to leverage kubernetes then deploying everything to AWS for testing. I'm hesitant on doing so, as I don't want to spend money on a volunteer project.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other options to achieve this? Or should I just bite the bullet and pay on-demand?
  Thanks in advance.</p>
