Hi all, I've decided to use Functionbeat for a new project but to sell it to my team I've been trying to set up a local example using docker-compose running Localstack and elk together; my vision was to deploy functionbeat to Localstack but it seems that there is no way to override the AWS endpoint used by the `functionbeat deploy` command. With the aws cli you can do things like `aws --endpoint-url=http://localstack:4572 ...` which allows you to run commands against Localstack. So my question is what options do I have in terms of local testing of functionbeat? Kind regards, YorkshireStingo ---

Currently there no easy to test functionbeat locally, but I like your proposal I will make a folllowup. ---
