axis-aws-rekognition VS aws-sdk-js-v3

For us, this is a big step towards bringing AWS into our assembly process to enable other use cases with the same setup, at the same time, gain quick wins for us. To support the community and the speed of transformation at manufacturers, we will also release our POC (proof of concept) code at GitHub that brings the powerful OCR function from Rekognition and the result delivered over MQTT together with powerful cameras. With some simple code changes, you could quickly get the object Rekognition with thousands of supported objects/scenes and custom labels to train it for your own object detection with a few images.

axis-aws-rekognition Lezgin Bakircioglu got in touch this week to tell me about this project and how they are integrating AI services such as AWS Rekognition into the Axis range of cameras in order to do OCR. He has put together this blog post, Boosting the assembly process with AWS serverless & Axis camera to help you understand how this all fits together. This is still experimental, so get in touch with Lezgin if you think this is something you would like to contribute to.

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.

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).

If you'd like the Amazon JavaScript SDK to support Deno then make your support known on this thread:

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/1289

I really suggest checking out the repo and especially the Upgrading section for more details.

No CloudFront URL signing - how can v3 SDK be labeled as general release if it doesn't have feature parity with the v2 SDK?

As I found out in this bug, v3, despite being released last year, is unusable.

You can't even stream an object to S3. https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/2348

Since DynamoDB is my database in this app, I went looking for the v3 equivalent of the DynamoDB document client that strips out the DynamoDB types and makes things more human readible. I found some mixed messaging on the official AWS Github repo for the JavaScript SDK and my overall takeway is that originally an AWS employee said they’d port it over, now it looks like that probably won’t happen. My personal opinion is that they could’ve done a better job communicating in this issue filed on Github.

aws-sdk-js-v3 the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 RC is a rewrite of V2 with some great new features. Read this post to find out more, Modular AWS SDK for JavaScript – Release Candidate.
