My work is heavy serverless and nobody I work with has had any luck with Localstack, myself included. It's just too limited, fragile, and buggy to work for anything we do. Our stack isn't anything particularly unusual either, it's just that if you are using Lambdas heavily they are probably tied in with a whole bunch of other AWS services in ways that are hard to replicate locally; and Localstack just isn't up to the task.

While there are some nice benefits to serverless workloads on AWS, local development and reproing production bugs are major weak points.

Sam local?
SAM local isn't a perfect emulation of the cloud based lambda environment. This is why AWS SAM added the "Accelerate" feature, making it easier to deploy code to the cloud for testing purposes.
