floci: Floci is a free, open-source local AWS emulator for development, testing, and CI.

What problem it solves

Developing against AWS services often requires a cloud account, authentication token, or paid feature gates. Floci provides AWS-shaped services locally so existing AWS SDKs, CLI commands, infrastructure-as-code workflows, and test suites can run without those dependencies.

Key features

  • Local AWS services without an account — Run AWS-compatible services locally without a cloud account, authentication token, or paid feature gates.

    Source: README, src

  • Drop-in AWS compatibility — Use standard AWS clients and familiar credentials, regions, SDKs, CLI commands, and infrastructure-as-code workflows against the local endpoint.

    Source: README

  • Docker-backed execution for higher-fidelity services — Supported container-backed workloads use real Docker execution instead of shallow mocks, including Lambda, RDS, Neptune, ElastiCache, MSK, ECS, EC2, EKS, OpenSearch, CodeBuild, and Managed Service for Apache Flink.

    Source: README, docker

  • Flexible local storage — Choose storage behavior according to the durability profile needed for development or testing, including in-memory, persistent, hybrid, and write-ahead log modes.

    Source: README, src

  • Web console for local resources — A browser console is available for inspecting resources created in the local emulator.

    Source: README, docker-compose.yml

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

floci start
eval $(floci env)

Who it may suit

This project may suit developers and teams that need to develop, test, or run CI workflows against AWS-shaped services locally. It may also suit users of AWS SDKs, CLI tools, Terraform, CDK, OpenTofu, or test suites seeking a local endpoint without a cloud account.

Topics to discuss

  • Which AWS services or workflows should be prioritized for additional compatibility testing?

  • How should local persistence be configured for different development and CI scenarios?

  • Which Docker-backed services need the most detailed documentation and examples?
