What would be pros/cons of using AWS Sandbox instead of LS, e.g. SB per developer for unit tests, SIT SB for integration testing, UAT SB or Preprod SB, and complement all this with AWS Budgets and Tower and shared resources to keep costs under control? Right now, the only benefit of LS that I can see, is that it allows a marginalized engineer Poor Man James Bond to get some hands on AWS as the access via AWS accounts is not possible due to hunger games that prevail in workplaces.

I do not use localstack, but moto for integration testing. It helps me with catching bugs locally before even deploying the first time to AWS and saving lots of time. I see these tools as the first steps to developer friendly cloud deployment tools. I am looking into localstack as a means to help students to learn how to use terraform, cdk and other tools with AWS.

What you see as the only benefit, currently as student, I see it as the biggest benefit.

@@ordenandoBytes I mean LS did have advantage before Amazon came up with the concept of AWS Sandbox. My assumption is that Sandbox is as cheap as paid version of LS, especially if it is combined with AWS Budget. SB is like a Virtual Machine where you have OS etc dedicated for your own use do there can be less surprise like unexpected costs. And you can also nuke down SB when you finish your work for the day. I am just wondering if somebody can confirm cost effectiveness of AWS Sandbox?
