Summary

  • fakecloud is an emulator (real AWS wire-protocol server), not a mock library. "Mock" framing reinforces the wrong mental model and puts us in the same bucket as moto / aws-sdk-client-mock.
  • Rename 6 landing pages: /mock-{cognito,dynamodb,kms,ses,sns,sqs}/ → /{cognito,dynamodb,kms,ses,sns,sqs}-emulator/
  • Each landing now opens with "Not a mock library — a real server that speaks the X wire protocol."
  • Fix cross-links in local-s3-for-tests.md, vs/dynamodb-local.md, vs/elasticmq.md.

Why no redirects

Pages shipped earlier today. Nothing external links them, nothing indexed. Clean rename is simplest.

Test plan

  • zola build succeeds, 81 pages generated, 6 /*-emulator/ slugs present
  • No internal links point to /mock-*/ anywhere in repo
  • Competitor mentions ("Moto's mock_sqs", "aws-sdk-client-mock") preserved as legitimate naming

Summary by cubic

Renamed website landings from /mock-/ to /-emulator/ to reflect that fakecloud is an emulator (real AWS wire protocol) and improve SEO clarity. Updated page copy and cross-links; no redirects needed as pages are new.

  • Refactors
    • Renamed: /mock-{cognito,dynamodb,kms,ses,sns,sqs}/ → /{cognito,dynamodb,kms,ses,sns,sqs}-emulator/
    • Updated titles/descriptions and openers to say “Not a mock library — a real server that speaks the X wire protocol.”
    • Fixed links in local-s3-for-tests.md, vs/dynamodb-local.md, vs/elasticmq.md; preserved competitor names like Moto (mock_sqs) and aws-sdk-client-mock.

Written for commit 1f2d094. Summary will update on new commits.

fakecloud is an emulator — a real server speaking the AWS wire protocol — not a mock library. "Mock" framing reinforces the wrong category (moto, aws-sdk-client-mock). The word is now banned from first-party content.

Renames:
- /mock-cognito/   -> /cognito-emulator/
- /mock-dynamodb/  -> /dynamodb-emulator/
- /mock-kms/       -> /kms-emulator/
- /mock-ses/       -> /ses-emulator/
- /mock-sns/       -> /sns-emulator/
- /mock-sqs/       -> /sqs-emulator/

Titles/descriptions/first-line intros updated; each landing now opens with "Not a mock library — a real server that speaks the X wire protocol." Cross-links fixed in local-s3-for-tests.md, vs/dynamodb-local.md, vs/elasticmq.md.

Remaining "mock" occurrences are in competitor comparison tables (Moto's mock_sqs, aws-sdk-client-mock) — legitimate naming.

No redirects needed: pages shipped same day, nothing external links, nothing indexed.
