Hi everyone, Firstly, I'd like to congratulate Amazon on their new developer release of the official AWS SDK.
* http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2012/12/aws-sdk-for-nodejs-now-available-in-preview-form.html * https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/ So ... where does this leave AwsSum? Well actually, in a good place. As is always the case in open source software you get choices, which makes competition which makes things better in the long run for everyone concerned. As a quick comparison from what I've seen so far: AwsSum: * Node.js style callbacks (callback(err, res)) * lower-level functionality, one to one mapping of service/operation to methods * supports 26 services AWS SDK: * promise style return values (.done(), .error(), etc) * higher level functionality including retries and backoff * supports 4 services (surely more very soon) So from what I can tell there is lots of room for both libraries to exist and I hope to read what they've done and improve AwsSum based on what I find. Hope you have fun trying them both out so if you'd like to try AwsSum take a look here: * http://awssum.io/ Also, my approach to AwsSum is about to expand pending time over the Christmas holidays. I'm planning on adding OpenStack support and possibly other IaaS providers into the library, so if you have any suggestions, please open an issue and I'll take a look: https://github.com/appsattic/node-awssum/ Have fun and happy hacking.
