What is MiniStack?
LocalStack recently moved its core services behind a paid plan. If you relied on LocalStack Community for local development and CI/CD pipelines, MiniStack is your free alternative.
35+ AWS services emulated on a single port (4566) Drop-in compatible — works with boto3, AWS CLI, Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, any SDK Real infrastructure — RDS spins up actual Postgres/MySQL containers, ElastiCache spins up real Redis, Athena runs real SQL via DuckDB, ECS runs real Docker containers Tiny footprint — ~250MB image, ~40MB RAM at idle vs LocalStack's ~1GB image and ~500MB RAM Fast startup — under 2 seconds MIT licensed — use it, fork it, contribute to it
