Description

The module could provide a way to avoid API calls to AWS/SSM when working locally.

For example, we could use os.environ to look for values instead of querying the Parameter Store. Such a functionality would speed up local development but at the same time it'd make the local environment different from production (e.g. latency, potential network errors, etc.).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to conditionally bypass AWS SSM calls using environment variables or a local config file, and implement a toggle (e.g., via env var or constructor parameter) to switch between online and offline modes. Consider fallback behavior and documentation.
