03/29/2022, 8:33 PMDoes it make sense to run Kratos locally when developing/testing? What incongruities can I expect between local Kratos in dev and Ory Cloud in prod?

the systems (apis, configs, …) are the same but it might be a bit more work to get all the URLs right as you switch between systems

what’s limiting you from using another ory cloud project for local dev?

Hey Forrest, yes they are using the same routes. I think hackerman was more referring to redirects you would need to change locally.

Do you think it would be beneficial for you to use something like a mock library when developing locally (i'm assuming on the frontend)? Or did you want all the functionality the cloud project gives you but locally on your machine?

03/31/2022, 5:45 PMIn my case, my project is AWS-native, but while developing locally, Lambdas are replaced with simple web servers, DynamoDB is replaced with an in-memory emulator. So you can see how Ory is kinda the odd one out.

03/31/2022, 5:45 PMIt sounds like running Kratos locally is doable but probably not really beneficial, so I think I'll just use a testing cloud account.
