SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex, multi-step process of scaffolding and implementing new AWS service modules for the CloudStub framework, ensuring high-fidelity, stateful behavior that matches real AWS services.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Scaffolding: Uses cloudstub-codegen to generate the initial operation surface from AWS Smithy models.
Stateful Implementation: Provides a rigorous workflow for hand-authoring state-backed handlers, ensuring modules behave like real AWS services rather than stateless mocks.
Full Lifecycle Support: Guides the user through testing, documentation, Spring integration, and smoke testing to ensure production-grade quality.

Quick Start

Use the start-generating skill to implement the cloudstub-sqs module based on the requirements in GitHub issue number 150.

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement stateful AWS service modules for JVM testing frameworks?▼

You can implement stateful AWS service modules by scaffolding from Smithy models and hand-authoring state-backed handlers. This approach ensures modules replicate real AWS CRUD behaviors and protocol-specific request handling for high-fidelity integration testing.

How does scaffolding from Smithy models generate AWS service operations?▼

Scaffolding from Smithy models uses codegen to automatically generate the initial operation surface for AWS services. This establishes the protocol-specific request handling structure required before implementing stateful behavior.

Can I use CloudStub to build stateful mocks for AWS CRUD operations?▼

Yes, CloudStub supports building stateful mocks for AWS CRUD operations. The framework guides you through hand-authoring state-backed handlers to ensure modules behave like real AWS services rather than stateless mocks.

What is the best way to scaffold AWS service integrations from Smithy models?▼

The best way to scaffold AWS service integrations is using an automated codegen process to generate the operation surface from Smithy models. This is followed by hand-authoring state-backed handlers for full stateful fidelity.

Do I need Spring integration to test stateful AWS service modules on the JVM?▼

Spring integration is part of the full lifecycle support for stateful AWS service modules on the JVM. It accompanies testing, documentation, and smoke testing to ensure production-grade quality within the CloudStub ecosystem.

Why use state-backed handlers instead of stateless mocks for AWS integration testing?▼

State-backed handlers are used instead of stateless mocks to achieve high-fidelity AWS behavior during integration testing. They maintain state across operations, ensuring modules accurately replicate real AWS service responses.
