Guides

Step-by-step guides for common Simfra workflows.

Terraform

Using the standard Terraform AWS provider with Simfra. Provider configuration, testing patterns, account bootstrapping, resource ID overrides, and multi-account workflows.

Application Development

Building applications against Simfra using the AWS SDK. Local development workflows, SDK configuration, and service-specific patterns.

Networking

How Simfra simulates AWS VPC networking using Docker networks. VPC isolation, accessing public and private services, CA trust setup, host DNS configuration, and DNS resolution inside containers.

Docker Services

Services that run real processes inside Docker containers - RDS databases, ElastiCache clusters, Lambda functions, ECS tasks, and more. Configuration, resource requirements, and troubleshooting.

CI/CD

Running a full CI/CD pipeline locally. Push code to CodeCommit, build with CodeBuild, deploy with CodeDeploy, and orchestrate with CodePipeline - all backed by real Docker execution.
