Can I use it in conjunction with something like CDK? I’m trying to learn the AWS CDK, but I would feel much better if I could run all these orchestrations on a local docker instead of a real AWS account.

…And just trust that I destroy them before they incur cost.

Absolutely - CDK under the covers generates CloudFormation templates, which deploy natively on LocalStack. Certainly a great use case for local dev&test - especially if you want quick feedback cycles, ability to destroy the stack immediately, etc.

There's also a "cdklocal" command line which should make it fairly easy to get started with local CDK development: https://github.com/localstack/aws-cdk-local
