SDK setup

Install the first-party fakecloud SDK in TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Java, or Rust.

fakecloud ships first-party SDKs for test assertions in six languages. They wrap the /_fakecloud/* introspection and configuration endpoints into ergonomic helpers.

These SDKs are not the AWS SDK. Your application code still uses the normal AWS SDK (boto3, aws-sdk-js, etc.) to talk to fakecloud over the standard AWS wire protocol. The fakecloud SDK is what your tests use to assert on what happened and configure simulation behavior.

TypeScript

npm install fakecloud

import { FakeCloud } from "fakecloud";

const fc = new FakeCloud(); // defaults to http://localhost:4566

await fc.reset();
const { emails } = await fc.ses.getEmails();

Python

pip install fakecloud

from fakecloud import FakeCloud

fc = FakeCloud()

fc.reset()
emails = fc.ses.get_emails()

Async variant:

from fakecloud import AsyncFakeCloud

async with AsyncFakeCloud() as fc:
    await fc.reset()
    emails = await fc.ses.get_emails()

Go

go get github.com/faiscadev/fakecloud/sdks/go

import "github.com/faiscadev/fakecloud/sdks/go/fakecloud"

fc := fakecloud.New("http://localhost:4566")
fc.Reset()
emails, _ := fc.SES.GetEmails()

PHP

composer require fakecloud/fakecloud

use FakeCloud\FakeCloud;

$fc = new FakeCloud(); // defaults to http://localhost:4566

$fc->reset();
$emails = $fc->ses()->getEmails()->emails;

Java

// build.gradle.kts
testImplementation("dev.fakecloud:fakecloud:0.9.2")

import dev.fakecloud.FakeCloud;

FakeCloud fc = new FakeCloud(); // defaults to http://localhost:4566
fc.reset();
var emails = fc.ses().getEmails().emails();

Rust

cargo add fakecloud-sdk

use fakecloud_sdk::FakeCloudClient;

let fc = FakeCloudClient::new("http://localhost:4566");
fc.reset().await?;
let invocations = fc.bedrock().get_invocations().await?;

What each SDK covers

All six SDKs wrap the same core surface:

• Reset: reset() / reset(service) — clear state between tests
• Per-service introspection: getters for recorded messages, emails, invocations, etc.
• Simulation: configure Bedrock response rules, inject faults, tick time-based processors (TTL, rotation, lifecycle)
• Health: ping fakecloud to verify it's reachable

For a full method list per SDK, see the README in each SDK's directory on GitHub.
