What does this do that SAM local can’t do for testing Lambdas locally and “sam sync” for deploying a single function?

Hi,

The difference is that MerLoc runs functions on your local as a part of AWS cloud infa. This means that function is triggered from real events, runs againts real AWS services and again response is returned to real AWS services.

Isn’t that slower than just mocking up your event payload?

Actually not. It is just one time setup and no mocking is needed anymore
