Floci is a free, open-source local AWS emulator that runs 83 AWS services (S3, SQS, DynamoDB, Lambda, ECS, and more) on your machine via Docker. It is a drop-in replacement for LocalStack Community, using the same port, wire protocols, and SDK configuration so existing AWS CLI, SDK, Terraform, and Testcontainers workflows work unchanged.
Use cases
- run AWS services locally for development without a cloud account
- test AWS integrations in CI without paying for cloud resources
- replace LocalStack Community with a free alternative
- emulate S3, SQS, DynamoDB, and Lambda locally with docker compose
- run AWS integration tests with Testcontainers
- develop Terraform/CDK infrastructure against a local AWS endpoint
When to choose
- you need a free, un-gated LocalStack alternative with no auth token or account
- you want fast startup and low memory (~24ms, ~13MiB) for local AWS emulation
- you need broad AWS service coverage (83 services) in local dev and CI
- you want a drop-in image swap from LocalStack with automatic env var translation
When to avoid
- you need exact production parity for AWS behaviors not fully emulated
- you rely on LocalStack Pro features beyond what Floci implements
- you need comprehensive AWS pricing data rather than a minimal snapshot
