Analyzing Floci: What Does It Take to Fit 68 AWS Services Into One Container?

A single Quarkus + GraalVM native container emulates 68 AWS services behind one port, 4566. We analyze its Smithy-spec protocol routing, descriptor-driven service catalog, four storage modes, and real Docker execution — against LocalStack.
