slop copy

Hey yeah sorry I copied from an old repo I had... Thanks for the contribution <3 https://github.com/Nahuel990/ministack/blob/master/CHANGELOG...

I liked the transparency: "Built entirely with AI by Jack Danger | All prompts saved in prompts/"

Thus far I've tried that (rejected), Floci (not great), and now looking at this.

This one is 7 days old.

I'm eager to have a localstack replacement, but these are a long way off from being mature enough. I suppose this is just the new state of software? Shiny website, big claims, AI coded, insufficiently tested.

"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.

I suppose (among many other things) LLMs are changing this. We no longer need that many contributors when we can use AWS docs, intercept AWS API calls and give it to AI agent to mimic. Of course, contributors are still needed for maintaining tests and validations.

Hello! We won't have the broad coverage that Localstack has... we're not aiming to be the "next Localstack"... just want to keep the core services that were available for free in the LS community up to date. If you’re looking for larger services like MWAA, sorry, but we won't be supporting them.... Most core AWS services don't receive many updates anyway (their APIs don’t change drastically or frequently)

Personally, I would get value out of really solid compatibility of the base features of a few core services (sqs, s3, kms, and maybe dynamo are the main ones that come to mind) with a light weight gui interface and persistence.

If I’m getting into esoteric features or some “big” features that don’t make sense locally, then I just spin up a real dev account of aws, so I know I’m getting the real experience.
