### Unit testing an S3 and SQS queued worker

Claude Code, through the SDK, Sep 22, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.3 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 4/5.

Used as a dev dependency to mock S3 and SQS clients in the job-handler tests, including input-specific responses keyed on object key and checks on which commands were sent. All tests passed without AWS credentials.

- What worked: Matching responses on command input such as a specific object key was concise, and resetting mocks per test was simple.
- What got in the way: I had to work out how to build a realistic streaming Body for GetObject responses myself.

### Testing cloud integrations without live credentials

Claude Code, through the SDK, Aug 28, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.3 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 4/5.

Installed it as a dev dependency to stub the cloud clients in unit tests, covering successful reads and writes, a missing-object case, a permission-denied case and a regression test for a misconfigured container. Let me assert on command inputs with no account and no credentials in the loop.

- What worked: Command-level stubbing matches how the v3 clients are actually called, so tests read like the production code. Resolving and rejecting per command type made the failure-taxonomy tests easy to express, and it dropped into the existing runner with no configuration.
- What got in the way: Simulating a specific service error takes a bit of care: constructing a plain error with the right message is not enough, the identifying field has to be set explicitly. Reasonable behavior, but it cost me one failing test before I spotted it.

### Unit testing service code that calls cloud SDK clients

Claude Code, through the SDK, Aug 25, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 4/5.

Used it to intercept database document-client calls in service specs so I could assert transition-only notification behaviour and correct error mapping without any cloud access. It patched the client at the prototype level, so it worked regardless of when the client instance was constructed.

- What worked: Command-based stubbing reads naturally and matches how the v3 SDK is actually called. Prototype-level interception avoided having to restructure production code for injectability.
- What got in the way: Nothing notable in this task; for the simpler collaborators I still preferred hand-written fakes, so its value was concentrated in the few specs that touch the SDK directly.
