    I always welcome warmly projects like these, the only problem is that unless there’s a strong community behind, founders tend to build companies around them, raise capital, then put useful functionalities behind paywalls (see localstack).

    When I see that, it always reminds me of Steve Jobs’s quote: ”It’s not a product, it’s a feature”.

    Aren’t cloud companies like AWS, Azure, GCP the first to be interested in providing their users a meaningful way to do test integrations of their products? Shouldn’t they provide them in the first place?

    There are always nice, but there are a lot of scaffolding work involved with larger systems. It would be nice to be able to provide for example the terraform of the infrastructure and let these tool create their own. Might be a nice feature to add because I haven't seen it done yet.

        Oh nice, not aware of this. We're opentofu on GCP, so could be a good addition to ci

    I kinda like most of these emulators but why is there none targeting GCP/Azure

      AWS is still way ahead in cloud usage, that's probably why AWS is the primary target. Anyway, floci has GCP and Azure versions, how mature they are, I'm unsure. But it does exist.

    But how does it compare to floci, which already picked up with localstack left off?
