"LocalStack was just a mess of a codebase" - very true.

I do think there's potential to semi-automatically create a compatible suite of services, but it'll require some very talented use of LLMs and some novel testing approaches. Not something I want to sign up for.

I evaluated Floci, but that has the typical issues you'd expected with freshly minted vibe code.



What are the typical problems you mentioned with Floci? I just went into their repo, and the community is very active; I see a lot of contributions. I'm not sure what you mean by typical problems.

idk maybe AWS should create one?

I mean, if we can use "virtual-AWS", it would dramatically lower entry-barrier for devs/companies who are scared of "tales of huge aws bills" and such


I wouldn’t hold my breath. They do have a dynamo db fake, but they don’t even release the code for it! Perhaps they’re concerned about making it really easy to clone their stuff.

But we can still do that ourselves, dynamically interrogating the real thing and comparing it to the fake.


It hasnt really been a barrier to entry though has it, cloud adoption is doing just fine.
