FakeS3 Helps You Test Amazon S3 Calls

FakeS3 is a lightweight server that responds to the same calls Amazon S3 responds to.  It is extremely useful for testing of S3 in a sandbox environment without actually making calls to Amazon, which not only require network, but also cost you precious dollars.

The goal of Fake S3 is to minimize runtime dependencies and be more of a development tool to test S3 calls in your code rather than a production server looking to duplicate S3 functionality. Trying RiakCS, ParkPlace/Boardwalk, or Ceph might be a place to start if that is your goal.

FakeS3 doesn't support all of the S3 command set, but the basic ones like put, get, list, copy, and make bucket are supported.
