Hey Andrew, thank you for your AWSome module. I wanted to use a Node module for Route53 (dynamic dns update for my domain a la dyndns/no-ip) and just yesterday discovered AwsSum (if I hadn't, I would have coded my own module). I was really impressed to see the support for so many services and the excellent documentation & examples.
Keep up the good work, I'm still going to use AwsSum from now on and seeing your post here increases my trust in this module. - Alex ~ @alessioalex (github, twitter) On Wednesday, December 5, 2012 5:42:21 AM UTC+2, chilts wrote: > 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?
