Floci launches to emulate AWS, GCP and Azure services locally

Floci is a new tool that emulates cloud services—such as S3, Pub/Sub and Service Bus—on a local machine, allowing developers to run and test cloud-dependent code without connecting to a real cloud account. It supports use cases including CI pipelines with 24ms startup times, offline local development, and dry-running Terraform, OpenTofu or CloudFormation scripts against localhost before touching production infrastructure.

FlowG adds AWS, GCP and Azure log forwarders ahead of 1.0 release, using floci for local testing

The FlowG team is preparing its 1.0 release and identified a gap: no native integrations with the logging services of AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, despite already supporting eight general-purpose forwarders. To build and test the AWS CloudWatch integration without incurring cloud costs or needing live accounts, they used floci, a local emulator launched via a single Docker command, which let them configure the AWS SDK to hit a local endpoint and verify log forwarding using standard CLI tools.
