AWS Developer Tools Blog

The AWS SDK for .NET has included support for the .NET Core platform in our NuGet 3.2 beta packages since last September. With our recent push of version 3.2.6-beta to NuGet, we’ve switched from netstandard 1.5 to 1.3 to increase the SDK’s compatibility with other libraries. This version also includes many of the high-level abstractions […]

The adoption of DevOps practices allows organizations to be agile while deploying high-quality software to customers on a regular basis. The CI/CD pipeline is an important component of the DevOps model. It automates critical verification tasks, making fully automated software deployments possible. Security tests are critical to the CI/CD pipeline. These tests verify whether the […]

Exception handling in the AWS SDK for Java just got a little easier! We just introduced base exception classes for all AWS services in the SDK. Now all modeled exceptions extend from this service-specific base exception and all unmodeled exceptions (unknown exceptions thrown by the service) will be unmarshalled into the service-specific base exception, and […]

We are pleased to announce a better, more intuitive way to construct and configure service clients in the AWS SDK for Java. Previously, the only way to construct a service client was through one of the many overloaded constructors in the client class. Finding the right constructor was difficult and sometimes required duplicating the default […]

Serverless computing is one of the most talked-about subjects among AWS customers. The AWS serverless offerings, AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway, make it possible for developers to create and run API applications with built-in, virtually unlimited scalability without managing any servers. Today the AWS Developer Tools team is excited to announce the preview of […]

The Amazon SQS Extended Client is an open-source Java library that lets you manage Amazon SQS message payloads with Amazon S3. This is especially useful for storing and retrieving messages with a message payload size larger than the SQS limit of 256 KB. Some customers have asked us about encryption. This blog post explains how […]

C++ has long suffered from the lack of good dependency management solutions. For .NET development, NuGet is one of the most commonly used tools. NuGet solves each of these problems for the Visual Studio C++ development environment: Native Windows developers often have to build against multiple Visual C++ runtimes. Companies often need to distribute flavors […]

TransferManager now supports a feature that parallelizes large downloads from Amazon S3. You do not need to change your code to use this feature. You only need to upgrade the AWS SDK for Java to version 1.11.0 or later. When you download a file using TransferManager, the utility automatically determines if the object is multipart. If so, […]

In this blog post, I will introduce two new features in the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse: creating an AWS Lambda stream function and creating multiple AWS Lambda functions in a single project. Unlike the normal AWS Lambda functions which take in POJOs for handler Input/Output, the AWS Lambda stream functions let you use the InputStream and OutputStream […]

From executing API commands in the background to grouping commands and waiters into concurrent pools, version 3 of the AWS SDK for PHP lets you write asynchronous code that blocks only when you need it to. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to take advantage of some of the SDK’s concurrency abstractions, including […]
