AWS Developer Tools Blog

We’re continuing to add features to Chalice, a preview release of our microframework for Python serverless application development using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. Chalice is designed to make it simple and fast for Python developers to create REST APIs built in a serverless framework. In our latest releases, we’ve added initial versions for a couple […]

In release v1.5.0 of the AWS SDK for Go, we added setters to all API operation parameters. Setters give you the ability to set API parameters without directly taking the value’s address. The setters wrap this functionality internally so you don’t have to. The setters are a convenient way to reduce the need to use aws.String and similar utilities. The following code shows […]

We have just introduced FIFO queues for Amazon SQS. These queues offer strictly ordered message delivery and exactly-once message processing. The FIFO API builds on the SQS API and adds new capabilities. This post explains the additions, how they work, and when to use them. Customers have asked us for these features.  Although many apps […]

In our previous post, we showed how you could use the request handler stack in the AWS SDK for Go to extend or modify how requests are sent and received. Now, we’d like to expand the idea of extending the SDK and discuss how you can unit test code that uses the SDK. The SDK’s service clients are a […]

In this blog post, we discuss the existing request retry feature, and the new retry throttling feature that we have rolled out in the AWS SDK for .NET V3 from version 3.3.4.0 of the AWSSDK.Core package. In request retry, client side requests are retried, and often succeed, in cases involving transient network or service issues. […]

If you’re new to AWS Elastic Beanstalk plugin, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Eclipse Integration to learn […]

In the previous post in this series, we introduced how to use webpack and the AWS SDK for JavaScript to create and bundle an application. In this post, we’re going to dig a little bit into other features, such as creating bundles with only the AWS services you need, and generating bundles that will also […]

We introduced support for webpack in version 2.6.1 of the AWS SDK for JavaScript. Using tools such as webpack with the SDK give you a way to bundle your JavaScript modules so that you can write modularized code for the browser. This post will walk through how to create and bundle a simple application that […]

Today, we announce the general availability (GA) of our .NET Core support in the AWS SDK for .NET. Previously, we’ve supported .NET Core in our 3.2.x beta NuGet packages while maintaining our 3.1.x NuGet packages on our stable master branch with the frequent AWS service updates. With the move to GA status for .NET Core, […]

One of the biggest changes in .NET Core is the removal of ConfigurationManager and the standard app.config and web.config files that were used ubiquitously with .NET Framework and ASP.NET applications. The AWS SDK for .NET used this configuration system to set things like AWS credentials and region so that you wouldn’t have to do this […]
