Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Platform upgrades and critical bug fixes delivering security, performance, and reliability gains for localstack/localstack. Key deliveries include upgrading base images and runtimes (Node.js v22 in CI/CD and Docker images; Python 3.13 on Debian Trixie) with CI/CD workflow and Dockerfile updates. Major bugs fixed: S3 presigned URL generation now respects LOCALSTACK_HOST/endpoint_url for Lambda code (with tests), DynamoDB Local download URL updated to latest 3.x builds, and backslash handling in CloudFormation dynamic replacements (with tests). Overall impact includes faster, more secure builds; more reliable Lambda packaging; and strengthened local testing and CloudFormation handling. Technologies demonstrated: modern Node.js and Python runtimes, Docker, CI/CD automation, and comprehensive test coverage for URL handling and character preservation.
