Overview
MiniStack is a free, open-source emulator for using AWS-compatible services on a local machine. It gives developers and CI pipelines a local endpoint for testing applications and infrastructure without relying on a live AWS environment. AWS SDKs, the AWS CLI, Terraform, CDK, and Pulumi can connect to it. It supports more than 60 services, isolates state by account and region, and can run real database and container-backed infrastructure for selected services.
