AWS S3 local server for integration testing
amazon-s3, amazon-web-services, java, jenkins
Solution
You can try localstack, which is an open source local AWS cloud stack made for testing. It provides implementations of several of AWS services, including S3.
It looks like a very popular open source project on GitHub.
Problem
I have some code that uploads and downloads files using AWS S3 (using the Java AWS SDK). I want to be able to write some tests for it, I was wondering if anyone has any good options. Ideally I would like a light-weight S3 server that runs locally that can be started fast and requires no system configuration (the tests need to be run by Jenkins). Some options I have looked at so far: - FakeS3 - Almost exactly what I'm looking for, however, when using the Java AWS SDK, you must edit your /etc/hosts file and restart networking, not something I can do in Jenkins. Also when trying it out there seems to be a bug with the creation date field being formatted wrong which makes my client throw an exception, which doesn't inspire me with much confidence in the project. - Ceph - Implements S3 API but takes several minutes to install
