I saw the message in #general - is this what I think it is - deploy production like stuff locally? Am I thinking in the right direction?

localstack

is an OpenSource project offering the local endpoints for a whole set of AWS services, but running in a docker container. https://localstack.cloud

when I first learned of this project a few years back only a select number of aws services were available. is that still the case?

thank you Ringo much appreciated
