Amazon provides a downloadable version for development. I don't know how close it is to the real thing, but it makes it easier to do local dev.
Localstack also supports it in their paid version

- tempworkac 2y agoIt doesn't really make any sense to use it locally - the whole point is that it's managed. If you just want a clustered key value store you could use Cassandra, Garnet, etc.
- plandis 2y agoI think people mostly use it for unit testing functionality since it’s generally a faster dev loop compared to running integration tests.
