Floci: Locally emulating any cloud service
Floci is a new suite of local emulators for major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. It allows developers and AI agents to test cloud-based code locally without needing real credentials, cloud accounts, or internet connectivity.
Why it matters
It significantly accelerates development cycles and reduces security risks by allowing AI agents to iterate on cloud code in a sandboxed, cost-free environment.
Any cloud. Locally. Run AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI locally in milliseconds: the fast, credential-free loop your team and its AI agents need to ship faster.
Each emulator is a standalone MIT-licensed binary. No auth tokens, no feature gates, no cloud account needed.
