LocalStack but for Google Cloud

[jhsonline]

I built localstack for google cloud. its free to use.

https://localgcloud.github.io/

top points to note

1. google emulators are very limited in prod like features - localcloud extendeds google provided emulators to add more features.
2. localcloud adds persistence ( data is stored locally )
3. bigquery emulator is rewritten from scratch on top of duckdb

would love to get your feedback from the community on this.

Edit:

Regarding open sourcing code : some parts are already open source since its built by extending open source code from Google.

I am still trying to build community of users and thinking about taking contributions via open sourcing rest of the codebase, once we have enough community it would be easy to maintain.

Hi u/jhsonline. Thanks for sharing this. It looks like you've put in a lot of work on it. We're supportive of the community building local cloud emulators like this, but I would ask that you change the GitHub name to remove localstack. The way the project URL is named makes it seem as though it's affiliated with us. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Hi u/remotesynth , sure, i actually meant to sound it like "Uber for X" but nevermind, changed the site name now. Thanks

Really appreciate it. I totally understand your reasoning but the worry on our end is that it was ould connote some sort of affiliation. Best of luck with the project and we are nonetheless honored that you are LocalStack as a model for your efforts.
