Running an AWS Stack on Your Local Machine
summary
Shows how to run an AWS Stack locally using Docker Desktop and Docker Compose v2, with the repo providing hosts file entries and a ready-made compose layout. Demonstrates Dockerfile tips (static lines first, multi-stage builds, small alpine base), compose patterns (parent/child file ordering, env substitution), network strategy (group related services per network, separate one‑off tasks into their own compose files), runtime hacks like extra_hosts→bridge gateway hack to resolve container hostnames through the host, and using healthchecks for visibility.
