Seven months of Floci, the free local cloud emulator. 1,299 PRs merged on the AWS emulator in 30 days, more than its first five months. 4.4M Docker pulls. Releases now ship on the 15th and the last day of the month. Plus what didn't work. floci.io/chronicle/state-of-…

We had a crazy idea: a virtual Quarkus conference. Two half-days, Feb 2–3, 2027, free and online. In true open source fashion, you pick the name — voting is open for two weeks: buff.ly/mDpOqCc #Quarkus #Java

Any Cloud. Locally. New Floci release: new AWS services, partitioning, container namespaces, and region/account fixes. AI agents now get isolated instances with no resource collisions. #aws #devops #ia #cloud
All four Floci emulators shipped today: AWS 2.2.0, Azure 0.14.0, GCP 0.10.0, OCI 0.4.2. The oldest file in Floci is gone, CloudFormation went from 144 to 163 resource types, and all eight AWS partitions now work locally. Join the Flock. floci.io/chronicle/everythin…

That quote didn't lose to a competitor. It lost to silence. Ghosted estimates are half-won jobs bleeding revenue — fix the follow-up, stop the leak. climacall.com/lost-leads-and… #HVAC

Your LSA cost per lead isn't random — it's a mirror of how badly you're tracking close rates. Fix lead tracking before blaming Google for leads that never book. climacall.com/google-local-s… #HVAC

Missed calls aren't a phone problem - they're a follow-up problem. Small HVAC shops lose real revenue when nobody owns the callback. Fix the routine, not the headcount. climacall.com/the-missed-cal… #HVAC

Six months of Floci, the free local cloud emulator. 2.6M Docker pulls. Floci 2.0, with twenty new AWS services. The image got about 40% smaller. 894 PRs merged in thirty days. Including the part where three emulators are too slow. linkedin.com/pulse/state-flo…

someone just built the free replacement to localstack. 100% open-source. it's called floci. run aws, gcp, and azure services locally without a cloud account, an auth token, or paid feature gates. → real docker-backed execution for lambda, rds, ecs, and more → aws, gcp, and azure emulators, one cli → native image boots in milliseconds, low idle memory → in-memory, persistent, hybrid floci start, and you're running a full local cloud.

Holy shit... a team open sourced an AWS emulator that runs the entire cloud on your laptop with 13 MiB of memory. It's called Floci and it boots 45 AWS services in under a second, no Docker, no LocalStack subscription, no $30/mo dev environment bills. Every AWS dev tool before this needed Docker, gigabytes of RAM, and 30 second cold starts just to test a Lambda function. Floci is a single Go binary that runs the entire AWS stack in memory and starts faster than your terminal can render the prompt. Here's what makes it different from every AWS emulator that came before: → 13 MiB total memory footprint, the average Chrome tab uses 200x more RAM than this entire AWS clone → 45 services emulated locally including S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, IAM, CloudFormation, Step Functions, all in one binary → Sub-second cold start, your tests finish before LocalStack even pulls its Docker image → Zero dependencies, no Docker daemon, no Python runtime, no Java VM, just one Go executable → Drop-in compatible with AWS SDK and CLI, point your endpoint at localhost and every existing script works untouched Killed: $40/mo LocalStack Pro, every AWS dev environment burning $200+/mo on staging accounts, Docker Desktop eating 4GB of RAM just to run a fake S3 bucket. Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows. No install scripts, no config files, no setup wizard. Download the binary, run it, your local AWS is live. Works in CI pipelines where spinning up Docker containers takes longer than the actual tests. 100% Opensource. Repo: github.com/floci-io/floci

Second @floci_io release train leaves today. Releases are on a schedule now: first and third Tuesday, all four emulators, same day. A minor bump means new work landed. Nightlies build daily, so you never wait for the train. Join the Flock. github.com/floci-io
