So I wanted to use aws-localstack and it's ok I guess. Except who built these docker containers? Ever heard of SRP? A single-monolithic container with all services inside, glued together with python and makefiles, using non-standard ports, and on top of that it's hard to configure.

Who wrote this garbage? Atlassian. Oh. That makes perfect sense.

Fuck this, I'm gonna write my own localstack. What do you guys think of this?

Reminds me of a school assignment about microservices that described that you had to hand in 'your docker image' of your microservice , I promptly asked the professor if they meant images instead of one singular image, a discussion followed 🤔

Is there any reason for Atlassian to dump all of that in one image?

@alexbrooklyn laziness? old-outdated principals? You can see from the fakews project I built that it's totally possible to build as separate containers and it's much cleaner and simpler too.

So I can't really think of any reason why they'd dump everything into a single container.

Also, take a look at aws-localstack and see how it's launched. Holy shit what a jumbled mess of bash scripts, make files, and python code, it's really an atrocity. I wish I was joking
