LocalStack started as a scrappy open-source experiment, and the community made it what it is today. Over time, however, the scope, security requirements, and operational complexity of maintaining high-fidelity AWS emulation have grown significantly. To continue delivering accurate, secure, and production-grade cloud emulation - while still offering a free entry point - we need a distribution model that lets us engage directly with users, understand how LocalStack is used, and sustainably invest in the platform.

Until now, Jules - Google's asynchronous coding agent - was only accessible via its website and GitHub. On Thursday, the company introduced Jules Tools, a command-line interface that brings Jules directly into the developer's terminal. The CLI lets developers interact with the agent using commands, streamlining workflows by eliminating the need to switch between the web interface and GitHub. It allows them to stay within their environment while delegating coding tasks and validating results.

This is exactly why about 21% of developers now lean on AI to smooth debugging workflows. Smart bug-tracking automation is quickly evolving from novelty into necessity.
