Scales to zero means you can span as many environments as you want and don’t bother. Every dev can have multiple environments to demo features and do experiments.

Isn’t that what local machines are for?

If you’re in territory where running locally isn’t feasible you’ve either done something horribly wrong or have scaled way past the point where either a single lambda or single ec2 instance is sufficient.

I don't see how I can use a local machine to demo a feature to my PM.
