This really isn't a DevOps thing. If you hard depend on lots of cloud bullshit and 3rd party services but don't also put in the work to emulate it locally in your dev environment then congrats you can't really run it locally anymore.

I'm in that situation now and the best solution is to just give every dev their own scaled down but complete copy of production with a little magic so the load balancer proxies requests from their dev URL to their laptop. Like it's pants-on-head stupid but I'll be damned if it didn't make onboarding new devs instant.
