Run Locally
All services run in Docker on your machine. No AWS account needed, no surprise bills, no network dependency. Just 'docker compose up' and go.
AWS SDK Compatible
Works with the real AWS CLI, SDKs (JavaScript, Python, Go, Java), and tools. Point your endpoint to localhost and your existing code works.
Pick Your Services
Run only what you need. Start just S3, or spin up the full stack. Each service runs independently with configurable ports.
