# Testing with Yulin
[Yulin](https://yulinsim.dev/) (`@kensio/yulin`) simulates AWS in process, in memory, with no
network and no AWS account. This skill is how to use it well. It serves `isolated-testing-style`,
the general argument for simulation over stubs. Each rule says what it buys, and a case that does
not want that trade can go the other way knowingly.
For the API read `node_modules/@kensio/yulin/llms.txt`. It indexes the 45 markdown pages beside it
under `node_modules/@kensio/yulin/docs/`, one per simulated service and per feature guide,
documenting the version installed. Open the page it names for the service in hand and grep it for
the operation or property, since Cognito runs to 210 KB with DynamoDB and Lambda close behind. Where
the package is absent, or predates the 1.20.x that started carrying it,
[yulinsim.dev/llms.txt](https://yulinsim.dev/llms.txt) has the same index for the current release
(drop the `llms.txt` for HTML).
## Use what Yulin already gives you
The most common way to go wrong is to build something on top of it. The failure looks like a
`TestAwsEnvironment` class, a `setupSimulatedAws()` helper returning six things, a factory per
service, or a `beforeEach` that reassembles the world.
Yulin is built to be used directly. `new SimAws()` and `new SimSdk()` are plain constructors with no
side effects, no network, no cleanup and no awaiting. Service accessors take the same Command
objects the SDK does. `using simSdk = new SimSdk()` is the teardown
