modular-aws-sdk

---

AWS has now published the version 3 of its SDK and it is now modularized: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3

A tool to build a smaller aws-sdk with only the things you need for your application.

Currently it is only possible to build a package with one AWS lib (e.g. only EC2)

The original code of the aws-sdk is not altered in any way.

Benefits

You have a smaller packages which saves time and costs.

Example (version 2.460.0):

Full aws-sdk: 40 MB Package created with bash create.sh dynamodb: 3,6 MB

Execution

For building a version with only one AWS service

Simply call bash create.sh SOFTWARE where SOFTWARE is a property from https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/blob/master/apis/metadata.json

Building the full SDK containg only the files needed for Node.js

npm install
bash scripts/createPureNodeJsAWSSDK.sh
# the final sdk will be in the "modular-aws-sdk-pure-node" folder

Examples

• S3
• DynamoDB
• EC2
• Route53
