The **AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 beta** is a rewrite of V2 with some great new features. As with version 2, it enables you to easily work with [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com/), but has been written in TypeScript and adds several frequently requested features, like modularized packages.

As with version 2, it enables you to easily work with [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com/), but has been written in TypeScript and adds several frequently requested features, like modularized packages.

Many aspects of the SDK have been refactored and cleaned up, in addition to generating service client packages instead of hydrating services at SDK runtime.

The new AWS SDK for JavaScript will also be able to run alongside the version 2.x SDK in the same package to allow partial migration to the new product. As we get close to general availability for version 3, we’ll share a more detailed plan on how we’ll support the 2.x line.

Let’s walk through setting up a project that depends on DynamoDB from the SDK and makes a simple service call. The following steps use yarn as an example. These steps assume you have Node.js and yarn already installed.

1. Create a new Node.js project.
2. Inside of the project, run: `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb@beta`
2. Inside of the project, run: `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb@gamma`
3. Create a new file called index.js, create a DynamoDB service client and send a request.

In our workshop code, a lambda with DynamoDBClient and a command takes ~18kB while DynamoDB takes ~26 kB ([details](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-v3-workshop/blob/dc3ad778b04dfe3f8f277dca67162da79c937eca/Exercise1/backend/README.md#reduce-bundle-size-by-just-importing-dynamodb)) -->

The SDK is now split up across multiple packages. The 2.x version of the SDK contained support for every service. This made it very easy to use multiple services in a project. Due to the limitations around reducing the size of the SDK when only using a handful of services or operations, many customers requested having separate packages for each service client. We have also split up the core parts of the SDK so that service clients only pull in what they need. For example, a service sends responses in JSON will no longer need to also have an XML parser as a dependency.

For those that were already importing services as sub-modules from the version 2.x SDK, the import statement doesn’t look too different. Here’s an example of importing the AWS Lambda service in version 2.0 of the SDK, and the beta:
For those that were already importing services as sub-modules from the version 2.x SDK, the import statement doesn’t look too different. Here’s an example of importing the AWS Lambda service in version 2.0 of the SDK, and the gamma:

```javascript
// import the Lambda client constructor in version 2.0 of the SDK
const Lambda = require("aws-sdk/clients/lambda");

// import the Lambda client constructor in version 3.0 beta
// import the Lambda client constructor in version 3.0 gamma
const { Lambda } = require("@aws-sdk/client-lambda");
```

It is also possible to import both versions of the Lambda client by changing the variable name the Lambda constructor is stored in.

### API changes

We’ve made several public API changes to improve consistency, make the SDK easier to use, and remove deprecated or confusing APIs. The following are some of the big changes included in the new AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 beta.

Also, calling `AWS.config.update({/* params *})` only updated configuration for service clients instantiated after the update call was made, not any existing clients.

This behavior was a frequent source of confusion, and made it difficult to add configuration to the global object that only affects a subset of service clients in a forward-compatible way.
In v3 beta, there is no longer a global configuration managed by the SDK.
In v3 gamma, there is no longer a global configuration managed by the SDK.
Configuration must be passed to each service client that is instantiated.
It is still possible to share the same configuration across multiple clients but that configuration will not be automatically merged with a global state.

1. Change directory to the project you are working on and move the archive to the location to store the vendor packages:

```
mv path/to/aws-sdk-js-v3/clients/client-dynamodb/aws-sdk-client-dynamodb-v1.0.0-beta.1.tgz ./path/to/vendors/folder
mv path/to/aws-sdk-js-v3/clients/client-dynamodb/aws-sdk-client-dynamodb-v1.0.0-gamma.1.tgz ./path/to/vendors/folder

1. Install the package to your project:

```
yarn add ./path/to/vendors/folder/aws-sdk-client-dynamodb-v1.0.0-beta.1.tgz
yarn add ./path/to/vendors/folder/aws-sdk-client-dynamodb-v1.0.0-gamma.1.tgz
