What Hacker News says
2 sourcesYou may already know these things, but for others who may not: the AWS SDK for Go suffers from shockingly bad discoverability.
For example, take the S3 library, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3. If you have an s3.Client and you look at e.g. the ListObjectsV2 method, you might have no idea that there is a ListObjectsV2Paginator which makes it much easier to use, because nowhere in the method docs is it mentioned. Indeed, most operations that paginate have more ergonomic paginators, but none of them tell you this.
But that isn't even the worst of it. Say you want to download or upload a file to S3. If you haven't worked with AWS for other languages, you might think that you just do GetObject and PutObject. And yes, for small files, that's generally fine. But for large files you want to use resumable downloads and multipart uploads. S

o you look and lo, there is no simple way to do this in the AWS SDK for Go. But actually, there is! It's in a totally unrelated and unlinked package, called github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/feature/s3/manager.
Now you're getting some religion, so you ask "what are the other so-called 'feature' packages?" and you try to browse pkg.go.dev at the github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/feature level but nope, that's not a Go module so there's nothing to see there. In fact, you can't even browse the other s3 features, never mind find out what other services have features. Fortunately, you can browse their GitHub repo at least: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/tree/main/feature
It's quite clear that they use poorly thought-out cross-language codegen for this, which partly explains the lack of ergonomics, but also shows that they don't much care whether you use their stuff properly.
