What is LocalEmu?

Stop waiting on cloud deploys and paying for dev AWS accounts. LocalEmu is a free, open-source AWS emulator. One pip install and one command gives you 132 AWS services on localhost:4566. Point the AWS CLI, boto3, Terraform, CDK or Pulumi straight at it, with zero config. Real Docker engines for Lambda, EC2, RDS, ECS and EKS. State persists across restarts. No account, no token, no telemetry. Apache 2.0. Build, test and learn AWS locally in seconds, not minutes.
