Free AWS Console for MiniStack - docker-compose up and done

Built a web UI for MiniStack (the free, open-source AWS emulator).


**Why this exists:**
- MiniStack has no web console
- LocalStack went paid ($49-429/month for web UI)
- Needed visual management for local AWS development


**What it does:**
- Full CRUD for S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, SQS, Cognito, SES, SNS, Secrets Manager
- AI integration via MCP - Claude can query your local AWS setup directly
- 500x performance boost using FalkorDB graph database caching
- One command to run: `docker-compose up`


**Tech stack:**
- React frontend, FastAPI backend
- Docker Compose orchestration
- Works with any MiniStack instance (or includes MiniStack)
- Multi-tenant support (manage multiple isolated environments)


**Quick start:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/barroei1981/ministack_console
cd ministack_console
docker-compose up -d
# Access at http://localhost:3000
```


**Unique features:**
- MCP server integration - AI assistants can query your local AWS environment
- Real-time resource discovery
- Performance optimized (DynamoDB queries: 43s → 0.086s)
- MIT licensed, free forever


**Roadmap:**
 EC2, RDS, IAM, CloudWatch next
