About the project
A local AWS API emulator written in Rust: it serves an endpoint on your machine so you can test code without real AWS or an account. Supports server mode (CLI and any SDK) and an embedded mode for Rust tests.
Useful for
- Run AWS SDK integration tests in CI without real cloud resources
- Start the emulator in Docker and point the AWS CLI at the local endpoint
- Embed the emulator in Rust tests as a dev-dependency for isolated instances

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–10:32: 7132 → 7643 stars (+511). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1,305 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 5.4× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- Hacker News: “AWS Finally Built Its Own AWS Emulator” — 986 points, 2 days ago.
- About 71 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 7,508.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
