    Skeptical of using because it's not clear whether this was just an exercise or a real product they are going to ship and maintain.

    Floci[0] has been great for me. Use the Testcontainers[1], too.

    Bonus: works for GCP and Azure, too (so far have only used in limited capacity, though).

      It’s a real product that we plan to maintain.

        We've all been burned to heck by AWS so, uh, why should we trust you based on just this comment?

    Excited to see this develop and be a free replacement to localstack / similar providers.

    Wonder if this could be considered a replacement for Ministack which itself was a vibe-code replacement of Localstack?

    ok who's gonna build the GUI / web console on top of it?

    RIP LocalStack… can’t say I’d be unhappy to see it go though.

    A mere 20 years too late. Now it’s faster to have AI mock your APIs for you. AI has been a boon for test coverage.

    The title for this story should be "aws-emulator, from AWS".

    Nope. Anthropics models did. Amazon is de facto obsolete, anyone with a bit of money and Claude on an API leash can replicate their entire business model, in days.

      Their business isnt making software, its providing compute. Thats not automatable until we have physical AI driven robots mining silicon and turning them into chips to put in datacenters

      OMG, you're correct! I just tried this prompt, and it worked:

      “Claude, make my LLC into the largest global logistics business and largest U.S. cloud provider overnight. Thanks.”

      I don't see Claude building a data center. Amazon is in no way obsolete.

      Big 'i can build it in a weekend' energy.

      Nevermind the massive logistics and network infrastructure, enormous market position, etc.

      Sure, you can build something in a few days. Replicating their business model? Yeah. No.

      Call me when Claude can design, manufacture, ship, and build a data centre.

      The current state of AI psychosis.
