+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We, as members, contributors, and leaders, pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+info@localstack.cloud.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any public interaction within
+the community.

+# Contributing Guidelines
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to our project. Whether it's a bug report, new feature, correction, or additional
+documentation, we greatly value feedback and contributions from our community.
+
+Please read through this document before submitting any issues or pull requests to ensure we have all the necessary
+information to effectively respond to your bug report or contribution.
+
+
+## Reporting Bugs/Feature Requests
+
+We welcome you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features.
+
+When filing an issue, please check existing open or recently closed issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already
+reported the issue. Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like these are incredibly useful:
+
+* A reproducible test case or series of steps
+* The version of our code being used
+* Any modifications you've made relevant to the bug
+* Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
+
+
+## Contributing via Pull Requests
+Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure the following:
+
+1. You are working against the latest source on the *main* branch.
+2. You check existing open and recently merged pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
+3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate to waste your time.
+
+To send us a pull request, please:
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+2. Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
+3. Ensure local tests pass.
+4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
+5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
+6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.
+
+GitHub provides additional documents on [forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and
+[creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/).
+
+
+## Finding contributions to work on
+Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.
+
+
+## Code of Conduct
+Please review the adopted [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and make sure you follow the guidelines.
+
+
+## Licensing
+
+See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for our project's licensing. By contributing, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the existing license.
