Web Console

Simfra includes a built-in web console for browsing and managing resources - similar to the AWS Management Console but designed for local development.

Accessing the Console

Open http://localhost:4599 in any browser. No login required.

Features

Service Directory

The home page lists all 88 available services. Use the search bar or press Cmd+K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Linux/Windows) to quickly find a service by name.

Account and Region Switchers

The top navigation bar includes:

  • Account switcher - switch between AWS accounts. Simfra supports multiple accounts; the default is 000000000000.
  • Region switcher - switch between AWS regions. Resources are region-scoped (except global services like IAM and Route53).

Resource Browsing

Each service page shows its resources in table form. You can:

  • View resource details, configurations, and tags
  • Create, update, and delete resources through forms
  • Navigate relationships between resources (e.g., a security group's VPC)

CloudShell

Click the terminal icon in the top navigation bar to open CloudShell - an in-browser terminal with the AWS CLI pre-configured to point at your Simfra instance. No environment variable setup needed.

Infrastructure View

The infrastructure view shows Docker-backed services (Lambda functions, RDS databases, ECS tasks, ElastiCache clusters) and their container status.

Docker Container Management

For services that run Docker containers (Lambda, RDS, ElastiCache, EKS, Redshift), the console shows container health, logs, and network configuration.
