About:
awscli-local is a thin wrapper around the standard AWS CLI that automatically configures endpoints to communicate with LocalStack. It enables developers to run AWS service commands against a local mock environment, seamlessly integrating with LocalStack's core services. This tool streamlines local cloud development by mimicking real AWS API interactions.

Key Features:

Seamless endpoint configuration for LocalStack
Drop-in replacement for the standard AWS CLI
Supports a wide range of AWS services within LocalStack
Accelerates local development and testing cycles

Use Cases:

Developing and testing serverless applications locally without incurring AWS costs
Running integration tests against mocked AWS services in CI/CD pipelines
Debugging AWS SDK interactions by inspecting local API traffic

Alternatives:

aws-cli – The official AWS CLI connects to real AWS regions, whereas awscli-local routes commands to a local LocalStack instance.
localstack – LocalStack is the core emulation platform; awscli-local is the specific command-line client used to interact with it.
