WireMock VS LocalStack

This article reveals how to integrate WireMock into Fastify with ease, enabling developers to effortlessly generate mock responses for external services. Join us as we explore the straightforward process of seamlessly integrating and optimizing Fastify applications using WireMock for enhanced testing capabilities.

https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock is one such tool.

Me and my company use WireMock a lot, it's nice tool but didn't find any nice ways to integrate with PHPUnit. What is WireMock you may ask - it's tool for mocking http requests/responses, like 3-rd apis https://wiremock.org. Wanted to use our tool which was under private repository in other projects I work in, so decided to release our own in-house WireMock integration with PHPUnit as library so it can be used by other people - https://packagist.org/packages/cobiro/wiremock, features are pretty simple:

A nightmare indeed! Try wiremock

Yes I agree, mocking is a bit of an overloaded term, and the libraries we used for stubbing like gRPC Mock and WireMock also have `mock` in their name, even though they are real servers with stubbing

Later you can use any S3 compatible storage because the code I write will still work, but for testing purposes on my local machine, I will use LocalStack:

To give this a slightly different spin:

--> "The best optimization is simply not spinning things up."

At least for local development and testing, as made possible by LocalStack (https://localstack.cloud), among other local testing solutions and emulators.

We've seen so many teams fall into the trap of "someone forgot to shut down dev resource X for a week and now we've racked up a $$$ bill on AWS".

What is everyone's strategy to avoid this kind of situation? Tools like `aws-nuke` (https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke) are awesome (!) to clean up unused resources, but frankly they should not be necessary in the first place.
