What Hacker News says
3 sourcesAnd even if you're on Linux, there is a VSCode addon that is equivalent [1]. And even if you can't / don't want to use VSCode or the addon, you can download and run the Functions host yourself via the `func` tool [2]. (The latter is what I do for my own Functions.)
One caveat with these options is that the Function won't get a Managed Service Identity since it's running locally, so if you have code that relies on an MSI you'll have to create a Service Principal and make your code support SPs too.
Apart from that, the beahvior of the Function running locally or in the cloud should be identical.

In Ask HN: Does anyone else find the AWS Lambda developer experience frustrating?I didn't realize this was a thing and had to look it up.[0][1] This seems pretty great if you were considering Lambda but had concerns over portability.
