LocalStack

“they've really helped to improve test coverage”

“IMO much of the product's success was derived from the extensive snapshot + behavioural tests they created to validate parity with AWS.”

“Instead of hoping fakecloud or localstack update their mocks to be inline with AWS”

“founders tend to build companies around them, raise capital, then put useful functionalities behind paywalls”

“in a well-architected piece of software, you aren't getting that much value from them”

“Often just spinning up `localstack` works well, even if only for S3.”

“There's a lot of devs looking for ways to move off Localstack due to the price change”

“I've been happily using LocalStack for roughly a decade now and haven't run into a single compatibility issue”

“Disappointed with their overall direction, but I hold no ill will”

“Every single AWS service I've ever tried to build tests around with LocalStack has run into compatibility issues.”

“LocalStack was just a mess of a codebase that couldn't maintain velocity or attract contributors”

“I had some great results building AWS services for local dev as well as CI/CD and testing in GH actions”

“you could use AWS Local Thingie to run it on a 5€/month VPS while you validate your idea”

“They just closed the repo and ran away. If they had that idea all along, I feel like it hasn't be very, let's say, ethical.”

“Local stack formed a big part of making that principle realistic.”

“I never understood why AWS doesn't provide something like LocalStack out of the box.”

“This project seems perfectly open from what I can see, looks like the original devs stopped working on it though”

“I don't really see why you would pay to use a cloud based AWS emulator, instead of just using a real AWS account.”

“I'd love to NOT have to use a shim like LocalStack but the alternative is what?”

“LocalStack, by building a project on top of proprietary APIs, set themselves up to fail.”

“a company took advantage of a community that expected their freely offered labor to not be commercialized”

“I bet they will be deleting code from the archived code just like that minio people.”

“The original maintainers are gone, and users will have to rely on someone else to pick up the work, or maintain it themselves.”

“It's comedic that they said that right after Minio pulled the same thing as localstack.”

“they will have an increasingly untenable service area to try and maintain and mimic”

“it feels impossible to get any attention from their support/devs despite being paying customers”

“perhaps if your core competency is something like LocalStack you need to think about alternative business ideas”

“a local AWS emulator now requires remote servers, and cannot run fully locally anymore”

“we liked our support contract with LocalStack”

“I can stand up all my infra for my teams 14 microservices in under 30s and test my in flight changes”

“it has been fantastic, saving thousands of dev hours by giving our team tighter feedback loops”

“I always thought that an open community-driven solution would be much more suitable”

“While Localstack provide a decent solution”

“the LocalStack parquet workaround that saved us hours of debugging silent hangs.”

“LocalStack community's S3 service is pretty stable, so I'm doubtful there'll be much parity drift”

“you've got the same kind of problem that Minio has”

“It's runnable within a docker container and has a high fidelity S3 service.”

“WAY too much. I just need a tiny service that translates common S3 ops into filesystem ops and back.”

“I've used localstack in the past which worked pretty well.”

“building cutting-edge technology to revolutionize cloud development processes”
