AWS SDK v3 + DAX
2 projects | /r/aws | 3 May 2023

From this GitHub issue and this one from 2021 it seems like AWS just doesn't care about this - so, asking here if anyone knows of a workaround (other than "just keep using v2"... that's not a long-term solution), or if any AWS devs can shed some light on the situation.

4 projects | dev.to | 16 Oct 2022

I published "ts-dynamodb-attributes-transformer" that transforms the TypsScript object to Amazon DynamoDB attributes (precisely, this attributes type is Record that is defined at aws-sdk-js-v3).

Once we have verified the presence of the AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE and AWS_ROLE_ARN environment variables, our pod is ready to connect to and read from S3. The following Typescript snippet illustrates a simple example which fetches the names of all the S3 buckets in our account. It uses the AWS SDK for JavaScript V3

Ask HN: What storage protocol for Bring-Your-Own-Storage applications
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jun 2022

Apparently the sdk doesn't play nice with vite. And it's way to heavy for my use case anyway. After looking further I found this library that is perfect for my needs https://github.com/mhart/aws4fetch.

1 project | /r/backblaze | 16 Feb 2022

This turns out to not be the case. First, blackblaze only supports PUT requests. Second, I found a way to go from using AWS SDK where v3 is like 400kB of unavoidable code and v2 is over a MB to a 6.4kb minified. Yeah, freakin awesome.
