The answer (IMHO) is to not use services that make it impossible to develop locally, unless you can trivially mock them; the benefits of such services aren't worth it if they result in a system that is inherently untestable with an environment that's inherently unreproducible.

(I can go on a rant about AWS Lambda, and how if they'd used a standardized interface like FastCGI it would make local testing trivial, but they won't do that because they need vendor lock-in...)
