LWS (Local Web Services) is a set of mocks for AWS services that allows you to test you code offline and without the need of an account.

• SQS
• Lambda (in development)

• Golang: Currently it only runs localy so, you'll need to download and install Golang. Make sure you have configured your GOPATH.

For a list of supported features check the Wiki.

Lambda service is in early development stage. If you are keen and want to follow the development, check out the branch llambda.

After installing Golang and configuring your GOPATH clone the LWS repository:

git clone https://github.com/cprates/lws.git

> cd lws
> make install
> make run

Create a new queue

aws sqs create-queue --endpoint-url http://localhost:8080 --queue-name queue1

Check if it was created

aws sqs list-queues --endpoint-url http://localhost:8080

Send a message (use the queue-url returned by the previous command)

aws sqs send-message --endpoint-url http://localhost:8080 --queue-url "$QueueURL" --message-body "Hello!"

Read the message

aws sqs receive-message --endpoint-url http://localhost:8080 --queue-url "$QueueURL"
