Playground

Requests go to the real emulator running in this tab. State persists across requests, and the journal shows what it received. A green dot marks operations whose sample succeeds as-is; others need ids from earlier responses.

Local emulators. Real API contracts. Part of Mockingbird.

Stateful local emulator of Amazon CloudWatch Logs. ESM; Node 22+ or Bun 1.2+.

Usage

TypeScript
import {
  CloudWatchLogsClient,
  CreateLogGroupCommand,
  DescribeLogGroupsCommand,
} from "@aws-sdk/client-cloudwatch-logs"
import { createServer } from "@crvouga/mockingbird-service-cloudwatch-logs/server"

// Test setup: start the emulator and point the AWS SDK client your application uses at it.
const emulator = await createServer()
const logs = new CloudWatchLogsClient({
  endpoint: emulator.url,
  region: "us-east-1",
  credentials: { accessKeyId: "fixture", secretAccessKey: "fixture" },
})

// Application code: ordinary SDK calls.
await logs.send(new CreateLogGroupCommand({ logGroupName: "/app/api" }))
const { logGroups } = await logs.send(new DescribeLogGroupsCommand({}))
// logGroups[0].logGroupName === "/app/api"

await emulator.close() // after the test

State lives in SQLite collections and participates in the shared runtime's namespace isolation, reset, timeline, clock, journal, metrics and fault controls. No AWS account is needed.

Implemented AWS operations: CreateLogGroup, DeleteLogGroup, DescribeLogGroups, CreateLogStream, DeleteLogStream, DescribeLogStreams, PutLogEvents, GetLogEvents, FilterLogEvents, PutRetentionPolicy, DeleteRetentionPolicy, TagLogGroup, UntagLogGroup, ListTagsLogGroup.

Operations outside this list fail explicitly. This package emulates API state, not AWS infrastructure, production quotas, billing, IAM enforcement, or provider consoles. Service-specific omissions and oracle evidence are recorded in the AWS coverage ledger.

Run bun run parity with LocalStack on http://127.0.0.1:4566; an unavailable oracle fails the run. No LocalStack run is recorded for this integration. The parity command is a bounded read-only SDK envelope probe, not proof of full vendor equivalence.

Install

Shell
bun add @crvouga/mockingbird-service-cloudwatch-logs

API

  • CloudwatchLogsAPI(options?): low-level AWS transport instance with fetch and reset.

  • createRuntime(options?): in-process Fetch API and shared state controls.

  • createServer(options?) from the /server entry: HTTP listener with url, runtime, and close().

  • document, operationIds, and supportedOperationIds: generated transport contract metadata.
