Alchemy drives 100% local AWS development by reusing cloud tests as specs
jonbeckman · x · 2026-08-25
Developer jonbeckman shares how Alchemy is pushing for 100% local AWS dev coverage: tests were first built and run against the real cloud, then repurposed as requirements and verifiers to drive development of a local emulator via Grok Build workflows. He says it's working beautifully, and it makes him more likely to use AWS for personal projects.
