Floci[0] has been great for me. Use the Testcontainers[1], too.
Bonus: works for GCP and Azure, too (so far have only used in limited capacity, though).

In my experience Floci has been the epitome of vibe coded - huge amount of changes, with things breaking randomly between releases. Moved away from it as soon as I could. Still better than Localstack :)
I didn't have a good experience with test containers, but perhaps it'd work better with fast starting containers. We run our test fixture with compose, and have the tests manage their data in isolation - so we don't pay the startup penalty in our test suites.
I think I'd trust this project at least as much as Floci. Embedded Rust mode also looks very interesting for us.
It has an official documentation on the AWS website, why would you assume it's not a real product? Because it was launched recently?
It’s a real product that we plan to maintain.
