For some years now, I have been using Laravel Homestead to quickly build up a virtual machine with all I needed installed. But it seems to not quite get the love it needs, and I’m wondering if folks have moved on to a different environment or tool for their development.
I’ve actually started using Docker/Podman in my own environment, but I’m curious how you use it to develop AWS services with it.
there are images available based on some of the services.
dynamodb, lambda, most other services are simply http mocks like secrets, apigw, sqs, sns, etc. there are others, like documentdb, that are based on other products(mongodb) that can be used in its place.
the only thing you can’t really replicate is IAM users/roles.
