[hantsy]

Awslabs released a Kotlin variant for AWS SDK, add Kotlin and Kotlin Coroutines support.

Elaborate please on how do you think this integration could work/look like?

@hantsy , AWS SDK for Kotlin is targeted at Kotlin Native Projects. You can just bridge SdkAsyncClient to Co-routines

AWS SDK for Kotlin is targeted at Kotlin Native Projects.

It is just Kotlin variant for the original Java version, provides a lot of extensions for Kotlin DSL and Coroutines to simplify the usage in a Kotlin project, see the YouTube vedio

@maciejwalkowiak For developers what we need is like the Kotlin support in Spring, make all AWS SDK Kotlin extensions available in this umbrella project. I think it is just an extra kotlin specific module.

I've converted this into discussion. Once we come up something actionable on how this support can look like, we can set up an issue.

@hantsy at this stage i am not sure how this support could look like. We could definitely make Spring Cloud AWS more Kotlin friendly (like explicit nullability annotations - what i want to add in v3). Perhaps we can auto-configure Kotlin clients from AWS SDK? Not sure if it is worth the effort. I am very open for your ideas - you are welcome to sketch a draft PR.

It has support for JVM Platform, but the purpose of AWS Kotlin SDK is to support all Kotlin MPP Target Runtimes

pretty old, but was there any movement on this @maciejwalkowiak?

The kotlin SDK is pretty well maintained by AWS - https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-kotlin
