Floci: a Free, Drop-in LocalStack Alternative Built on Quarkus
LocalStack Community froze in March 2026 and now asks for an auth token. Floci is the no-strings-attached replacement: a free, MIT-licensed, Quarkus-native local AWS emulator. I test it for real: AWS CLI, a real Lambda, two ways of wiring a Quarkus app (Dev Services and Testcontainers), and a LocalStack migration.
