Summary
Replaces LocalStack with MiniStack for local AWS service emulation. LocalStack Community Edition has been discontinued, requiring a migration to a maintained alternative. MiniStack is an open-source, MIT-licensed drop-in replacement that provides the same AWS service emulation with a lighter footprint.
