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.
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.
I'm launching something in that space this week - if you're interested in trying one of those out, feel free drop me a message via my website (in bio) :)
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’s also Ministack, which forked from LocalStack after they started breaking developer workflows: https://ministack.org/
Both fakecloud and its website look sloppily vibe-coded. It’s going to take a while for it to earn trust. I’d treat it with suspicion. (Curl-to-shell pipe to install? Ugh.)
But how does it compare to floci, which already picked up with localstack left off?
you mean floci? https://floci.io/floci/
Yeah. Stupid really didn’t want to type that. :)
Floci happened to be discussed yesterday, with 47 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49854416

I use tf with floci and floci-gcp, weekly…
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

Agreed. Azure would be nice. Something that can work with Terraform too.

Agreed with everything up to:
"curl-to-shell pipe to install" - what's the problem here? that's pretty common on linux systems and something the AWS CLI uses.
Or is the problem the fact that this dev is untrusted and is executing a possibly malicious script on your machine?
Running arbitrary code directly in your terminal is very dangerous
