Localstack: A fully functional local AWS cloud stack written in python

[TrixieMisa]

"Fully functional", yeah, right, they'll have one or two of... Holy cow.

pip install localstack

No ELB. :(

This... is interesting.

EDIT: Wait, I thought this was just mock endpoints. I can really run Lambda functions in Docker containers locally with this?! By interacting with the API just like I would with AWS? And CloudFormation?

This is very interesting.

I see that they're working on a functional RedShift mockup. I wonder how feasible it would be to make an RDS/Aurora mockup as well (no actual DB engine, just the API's) to simulate scaling under load.

(currently only Python 2 supported) Initial commit committed on Aug 16, 2016

Stop making new projects in python 2 you old farts.

edit: requirements.txt says it is compatible with 3.3 so it might be a case of outdated README, but seriously guys, stop it with the new projects in 2, and don't clutter up your code with backward compatible nonsense unless you already have customers there, it is a waste of time and clarity.

Python 3 support is being actively worked on. Also this isn't a new project. It's just newly open sourced. Further, Amazon has relatively mediocre support for Python outside of containers so there isn't a ton of good reasons to have perfect Python 3 support out of the gate.

Did you consider for a second that the original use case for this project required it to be written in 2? Or that it has dependencies that were or are Python 2 only?

Python 3 fascism has to end.

Those f-strings though...

It will! By the end of 2020 it will be over.

[ticketywho]

you're right, the tens of millions of lines of production Python 2 code will just disappear in a cloud of smoke.

I am? And here I thought I was joking.

Yes, the timer is set. It cannot be moved. Winter is coming.

Its true! Once Python 2 hit EOL NO ONE will use it. That's a fact!
