Four months of Floci. 🎉 ☁️ 69 AWS services ☁️ Azure + GCP emulators ✅ 2,506 compatibility tests ⭐ 17.7k stars Still MIT. Still no account, no auth token, no feature gates. Any Cloud. Locally. State of the Flock 001 👇 www.linkedin.com/pulse/state-...
Happy Fourth of July from Floci Today's about freedom, so here's ours: run the whole cloud locally. No account, no auth token, no feature gates. Just docker compose up for AWS, GCP, and Azure. Any cloud. Locally. Free forever. Happy and safe Fourth to everyone celebrating. 🇺🇸
Stop juggling Azurite, the Cosmos emulator, and four ports to test one app. floci-az = 19 Azure services on one port (4577). Real services, SDK-compatible, not mocks. 1 Docker image. 24ms start. ~13 MiB. $0. Free + MIT: github.com/floci-io/flo... #Azure #DevOps #Test #LocalDev
From breadboard chaos to a real PCB. I designed my first custom PCB to run the Pi4J smoke test reliably on a Raspberry Pi: I2C, SPI, and GPIO tests, no more tangled jumper wires. The full story (schematic → ordering → results): webtechie.be/post/from-br... #Java #RaspberryPi #Pi4J #PCB

Testing a Java I/O library properly means testing it on real hardware. No mocks, no stubs, just actual pins doing actual things. For Pi4J, that means running …

A local cloud your team and your AI agents can iterate against in milliseconds. Floci runs AWS, Azure & GCP as one native binary. Free, MIT, no auth token, real engines. Safe to break, reset a container instead of your staging account. floci.io
First time using @floci.io (just for an S3 bucket) - ran via dotnet.testcontainers.org (there's a nuget package for that 😁) and huge levels of "just worked". Not new to running infra locally, but even so the lack of surprises was very welcome.
Had a lot of fun learning more about @floci.io ☁️ from @hectorvent.dev! What a great project, and what a great use case of Native Image for fast startup, low memory usage, and easy installation across platforms.

floci-gcp doesn't model GCP's wire format. It implements the server side of Google's own protobuf stubs. Deep dive: dev.to/hectorvent/h... floci.io/gcp #GCP #Terraform #DevOps
How floci-gcp builds GCP wire compatibility on Google's own protobuf (and stays maintainable)
A local GCP emulator that doesn't model the wire format at all. Instead it implements the server side of Google's own generated protobuf stubs. Here's why that's the whole trick.
