Azurite Azure Storage Emulator

Azurite is an open-source, cross-platform Azure Storage API compatible server designed for local development. It emulates the behavior of Azure Blob, Queue, and Table storage services, allowing developers to test their applications without incurring costs or latency associated with cloud resources. The current stable version is 3.35.0, with minor releases occurring approximately every 1-3 months, typically bumping the supported Azure Storage API version and introducing new features or bug fixes. Key differentiators include its full compatibility with Azure Storage SDKs, support for all three major storage services (Blob, Queue, Table preview), and flexible deployment options via npm, Docker, or a VS Code extension. It is built on TypeScript and runs on Node.js, providing a consistent local environment for Azure Storage interactions.
