Mocking Out the AWS SDK for Go for Unit Testing

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.

Configuring AWS SDK with .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 […]
