The AWS SDK for Rust

This repo contains the new AWS SDK for Rust (the SDK) and its public roadmap

Please Note: The SDK is currently released as an alpha and is intended strictly for feedback purposes only. Do not use this SDK for production workloads.

The SDK is code generated from Smithy models that represent each AWS service. The code used to generate the SDK can be found in smithy-rs.

Getting Started with the SDK

The SDK provides one crate per AWS service. You must add Tokio as a dependency within your Rust project to execute asynchronous code. We will not push the SDK to crates.io during Alpha; you must use it via a Git dependency.

Create a new Rust project: cargo new sdk-example
Add dependencies to DynamoDB and Tokio to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
aws-sdk-dynamodb = { git = "https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust", tag = "v0.0.16-alpha", package = "aws-sdk-dynamodb" }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Provide your AWS credentials as environment variables:

Note: The alpha version of the SDK only supports credentials through environment variables at this time.

Linux/MacOS

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
export AWS_REGION=... # eg. us-east-1

Windows

set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
set AWS_REGION=... # eg. us-east-1

Make a request using DynamoDB

use aws_sdk_dynamodb::{Client, Error};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let client = Client::from_env();
    let req = client.list_tables().limit(10);
    let resp = req.send().await?;
    println!("Current DynamoDB tables: {:?}", resp.table_names);
    Ok(())
}

Prerequisites

In order to use the SDK, you must already have Rust and Cargo installed. If you don't, these instructions describe how to install Rust and Cargo.

Using the SDK

Until the SDK is released, we will be adding information about using the SDK to the Guide. Feel free to suggest additional sections for the guide by opening an issue and describing what you are trying to do.

Feedback and Contributing

Feedback

The SDK uses GitHub Issues to track feature requests and issues with the SDK. In addition, we use GitHub Projects to provide users with a high level view of our roadmap and the features we're actively working on.

You can provide feedback or report a bug by submitting a GitHub issue. This is the preferred mechanism to give feedback so that other users can engage in the conversation, +1 issues, etc. Issues you open will be evaluated for our roadmap in the Developer Preview launch.

Contributing

If you are interested in contributing to the SDK, please take a look at CONTRIBUTING

AWS Services Supported

The SDK currently does not provide support for every AWS service. You can see all the services currently supported on AWS_SERVICES_SUPPORTED

Supported Rust Versions (MSRV)

The SDK currently requires a minimum of Rust 1.52.1, and is not guaranteed to build on compiler versions earlier than that. While we are still in alpha, we will be keeping the minimum compiler version two releases behind the latest stable release where possible (so if the latest stable is 1.55, we will be on 1.53). However, we are not making any guarantees around this at present. Increases in minimum required Rust version will be called out in the Release Notes for new releases of the SDK.
