  • Smithy: Amazon's language for defining services and SDKs

    Awesome thanks for sharing. For the moment I'm looking though https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-typescript/tree/master and that's helping me understand the terminology a bit better. I do note the bold warning:
  • Smithy: A language for defining services and SDKs

    It's not really a fully finished project yet, so not much. We shipped the AWS SDK for JS v3 with Smithy, the AWS SDK for Go v2 with Smithy, and just launched an alpha of the AWS SDK for Rust using Smithy. More are in the works. We're currently iterating on their code generators to make them easier to use outside the AWS SDKs. AWS SDKs are being built in a layered approach where there's a generic code generator that's really extensible, and then the AWS SDKs extend it to add AWS-specific stuff like regions and credential handling.

    We're working to get projects like these to GA: https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-typescript, https://github.com/aws/smithy-go, and https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-rs. And we're also working on service code generation.

  • Tips on Creating a Design-First API Using Rust

    AWS recently released https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-rs, which is the basis upon which the AWS Rust SDKs are built. The team behind it are still refining it, there’s the odd corner-case with smithy models that will catch it, but it is pretty decent now.

    Here's an example of what this looks like in practice: https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-rs/tree/main/rust-runtime/aws-smithy-http-server-python/examples
  • With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.

    There’s an older internal schema language for API descriptions, but it can be translated to smithy, so that’s being used for all new sdk’s. See https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-rs for instance.
