Rainbow

This is Rainbow 🌈, an implementation of some AWS services for local development.

Questions

• Why not LocalStack?

LocalStack is great for some use cases, but I wanted something that was better for a long-lived local implementation of AWS services. Specifically, better S3 storage and more seamless Lambda development, along with not pegging CPU when constantly consuming from queues.

Plus, I wanted to learn Go.

• Where did the name Rainbow come from?

I was thinking about various project names over the course of several days. Nothing seemed quite right until I was hanging out in my daughter's room, and I realized the name of this project was all around me.
