S3 as a Git remote and LFS server

All this mocking when moto exists is just :-( https://github.com/awslabs/git-remote-s3/blob/v0.1.19/test/r...

Actually, moto is just one bandaid for that problem - there are SO MANY s3 storage implementations, including the pre-license-switch Apache 2 version of minio (one need not use a bleeding edge for something as relatively stable as the S3 Api)

Do you mean boto (the python SDK for AWS)?

EDIT: They probably do not, I'm guessing they mean https://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/index.html ?

moto server for testing S3 is pretty great. It’s about the same experience as using a minio container to run integration tests against.

I use this, and testing.postgresql for unit testing my api servers with barely any mocks used at all.

> there are SO MANY s3 storage implementations

I suppose given this is under the AWS Labs org, they don’t really care about non-AWS S3 implementations.

Well, I look forward to their `docker run awslabs/the-real-s3:latest` implementation then. Until such time, monkeypatching api calls to always give the exact answer the consumer is looking for is damn cheating

Happy 10,000th Day to you :-D Yes, moto and its friend localstack are just fantastic for being able to play with AWS without spending money, or to reproduce kabooms that only happen once a month with the real API

I believe moto has an "embedded" version such that one need not even have in listen on a network port, but I find it much, much less mental gymnastics to just supersede the "endpoint" address in the actual AWS SDKs to point to 127.0.0.1:4566 and off to the races. The AWS SDKs are even so friendly as to not mandate TLS or have allowlists of endpoint addresses, unlike their misguided Azure colleagues

it wouldn't be unprecedented. dynamodb-local exists.

Sorry, not sure what you mean?

Agreed, haha. Well, I think it should work with Minio & co. just as well, but be prepared to have your issues closed as unsupported. (Pesonally, I might give it a go with Backblaze B2 just to play around, yeah)

There is also testcontainers. Supports multiple languages. Uses containers though.

How do you know they are in the US?

Unfortunately there's been a few vulnerability since that old Minio release. For something you expose to users, it's a problem.

I would hope my mentioning moto made it clear my comment was about having an S3 implementation for testing. Presumably one should not expose moto to users, either
