> the rest will soon followIf you’re looking for requests ;-), I would love an ECS (and specifically Fargate) emulator that actually ran Docker containers locally as though they were in ECS

That's a great idea i've had floating around in my head too!by ozarkerD

What kind of things would you use this to simulate ?Is this to make sure services are wired up with permission and communicate properly before you deploy or what is the use case ?
Also, why not have a dev environment where you can test things on the real thing (ideally with smaller size instances to save $)

Intergration testing is one. You can run this in your ci/locally to speed up tests. Or just for local dev. We do this with localstack[1]by giza182

Yep integration is my use case as well. It’s nice to not have to worry about setting up real infrastructure for testing client code, parallel execution if you’re on a team, clearing out state each run, etc…by ozarkerD

what compatibility surface is prioritized first for SQS edge casesby MouadNos

Good question. I'm driving mostly off of my own use cases currently, so AWS SDK/CLI/Terraform compatibility. Response formats, codes, messages are best effort, there's a little work to be done there still. There's some gaps around request validation still too.The idea is to build up a good suite of integration/regression tests as cases are identified by myself or the community (if there is one) through development.
