botocore VS aws-sdk-rust

With some searching, you can sometimes get an idea of what’s to come in the future. AWS’s SDKs are intended to be used with all AWS partitions, supporting all the partitions and regions. By examining the Python SDK (boto) code , we can infer that two more partitions may be in progress.

More correctly would likely be https://github.com/boto/botocore/issues/1543

Pretty much all of the SDKs refer to a standard set of JSON files that define the APIs, in a much older internal format ("C2J") than anything like Smithy or OpenAPI. You can find these in most SDK repos today, e.g. boto3: https://github.com/boto/botocore/blob/develop/botocore/data/kms/2014-11-01/service-2.json

The AWS SDK for Rust contains one crate for each AWS service - you can check them out here.

> What kind of plans for support of Rust's evolving async ecosystem?

We were hoping async-function-in-trait would land before GA, however, we have a plan to add support in a backwards compatible way when it's released.

> Any particular reason why the public roadmap does not show the columns similar to "Researching", "We're Working On It" like the other similar public AWS Roadmaps?

Our roadmap has unfortunately been in a state of disrepair for some time. We're hoping to get it cleaned up and accurate post GA.

> Would be nice to have fully working examples on Github, for most common scenarios across most AWS services. This is something that historically AWS SDKs have been inconsistent on. Just a request not really a question :-)

There are lots of examples here [1], some simple, some quite complex. If there's something you have in mind, please file an issue! Having great examples is one of our priorities.

There’s a pretty nice example of this in the aws rust sdk here.

The official AWS Rust SDK still seems to be a work in progress(developer preview) with a warning to not use it in production.

i'm using https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust heavily and was wondering if there was a more specific community (subreddit, Discord server, etc) of Rust x AWS developers?

Only relevant search result was this github issue, which didn't really solve the problem.

I went on rusoto just because aws-sdk-rust says at the beginning of the readme:

Official libraries for major cloud vendors will definitely boost Rust's adoption. aws-sdk-rust is still in 'developer preview', but it's getting there.
