Services overview

The runtime includes 27 service entries and publishes 27 guides. All 27 services are available; 0 are marked as coming soon. Availability does not mean full Google Cloud parity or that a service starts by default.

A service guide separates the facts that affect normal use:

  1. Starts by default — whether services.enabled: default starts the service.
  2. Minimum tier — Community or Pro; this is a technical boundary, not a license grant.
  3. Support level — verified, partial, release-unverified, unsupported, or unknown.
  4. Persistence — whether data is volatile, metadata-only, service data, or stateless.
  5. Connection — the canonical container port and protocol. Use localcloud env for the actual host endpoint.
  6. Known limits — operations or Google Cloud behavior that LocalCloud does not provide.

Categories

The catalog groups services by user goal—storage, databases, analytics, messaging/workflow, security, operations, and compute/runtime—but implementation boundaries differ inside every category. Some are external emulator processes, some are local facades, and some require Docker-socket or transparent-network opt-ins.

How to use the catalog

  • Load the actual running endpoints with localcloud env; the host CLI may remap ports.
  • Check the service detail and operation limitations before relying on a workflow.
  • Treat release-unverified behavior as something to verify with the exact image version you run.
  • Keep the runtime loopback-bound and use fake local data.
  • Remove emulator variables and validate production behavior against real Google Cloud before release.

Open the service catalog for all 27 guides or Compatibility for operation-level support and limitations.
