    I just spilled my coffee; sorry for the trivial remark, but the name means 'pubic hairs' in Romanian. Apologies.. I thought it's better for you to know and ignore than not to (not quite a big population target for you, I imagine, anyway).

      One of the later pages mentions that the name came from "cirrocumulus floccus", the cloud formation.

        Do Greek people really say &quot;Here comes the spunk!&quot; when they&#x27;re... you know?

    Most likely a false positive, but worth noting for the people who run the project: Malwarebytes currently flags the site as &#x27;potentially unsafe&#x27; when trying to visit it - not sure what the best avenue for them to get that fixed beyond reaching out to Malwarebytes might be

    Would someone be interested in this but intended for production? Im already running a whole bunch of cloudflare and AWS services in my own AWS fake and it works surprisingly well! :)

    Been using it for a while to run integration tests with Testcontainers [1]. It&#x27;s very good and much more lightweight than Localstack.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;testcontainers.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;testcontainers.com&#x2F;</a>

    The cool part of this is it’s an example of what’s possible with a community of users armed with AI.<p>Many users, (myself included), had need to test cloud stuff locally, but had no tool to do so. Localstack exists, but it started rug pulling the free tier and they didn’t support all the features.<p>Meanwhile, Floci makes it easy to write your own cloud compatible test suite, then implement the feature to match. I was able to get a good enough coverage on a few features created in a weekend on the $20 tier of Claude to make it useful to me, then others picked up the work to round it out.<p>It’s really cool to see it grow.

      I’d love to see this for stuff like Stripe, Twilio, etc - they’ve got sandboxes but this would be a lot easier and faster.

    This looks very cool! Is this only intended for testing and development, or as a feasible way to migrante away from e.g., GCP as well?<p>I’m interested in something that would allow me to over time migrante away from a GCP project that uses many services today - e.g., Datastore, FileStorage etc.

      Definitely not feasible to migrate off of actual cloud services using something like this.

    Good work.<p>For us, floci-oci for object storage looks interesting. For everything else we have our own stack.
