Any way to run AWS Aurora locally?

Note: Not a solution but re-statement of the Question asked above!

The major issue is when the downstream app is listening for activities on DB.

The mock up service can go so far, so it will be great to have to a version of AWS Aurora as a local docker.

You can continue to use mysql, since aurora is compatible with mysql. Aurora differs with mysql in other features such as autohealing, more read replicas, availability replication, performance and other non development related features.

Therefore for development mysql suits you.

The only problem I can think of is if you use the lambda triggering feature.

Is there any difference in the way you would use Aurora versus the way you are currently using MySQL? We have continued to use MySQL locally after migrating to Aurora on AWS.
