Testing localstack+terraform+rds

Pre-flight

1. Sign up for localstack
2. 😱 when you see $80/mo price
3. Install docker
4. Install localstack
5. Configure localstack
6. Install terraform
7. Install uv
8. Run uv sync
9. Start localstack: localstack start

Notes

• There are no RDS examples in the terraform examples repo
• LocalStack Community and Pro images provide limited offline capabilities. To use a fully-fledged offline mode, you may use LocalStack Enterprise
• Localstack "base" has RDS access, but not AWS DMS access (need ultimate)
• If you're using modules that include provider blocks, you will need to add extra configuration for tflocal to work

Useful commands

• Describe RDS cluster: uv run awslocal rds describe-db-clusters
• Run terraform wrapper: uv run tflocal apply
