Localstack Pro looks quite nice and comprehensive, but the CI pricing seems to really discourage proper continuous integration best practices. At 10 cents per run you're encouraging developers to run their CI pipelines as little as possible, while ideally you'd run CI on each commit and you'd commit often, probably 10s is times a day. In that case Localstack Pro for CI would get costly very quickly.

Why not have CI pricing per project/repo. Regardless of how often it runs.



Thanks for the feedback, great points. We're going to put a strong focus on our CI offering (both from a feature and pricing point of view) over the next couple of weeks/months.

For example, we're working on a new feature that will make it easy to snapshot the state of the LocalStack instance during and after each CI run, making the state "browsable" in the UI, and providing advanced insights and analytics into how the application stack and tests evolved over time.

We're also looking into alternative options for pricing - your point is well taken and will be considered for our roadmap. We definitely want to encourage testing frequently and on every commit - but I'd like to emphasize that our current CI offering is just a starting point, with lots more exciting features to come soon.. Thanks!


how did that 'mining coins on gh-actions' thing turned out again?
