> What kind of plans for support of Rust's evolving async ecosystem? We were hoping async-function-in-trait would land before GA, however, we have a plan to add support in a backwards compatible way when it's released. > Any particular reason why the public roadmap does not show the columns similar to "Researching", "We're Working On It" like the other similar public AWS Roadmaps? Our roadmap has unfortunately been in a state of disrepair for some time. We're hoping to get it cleaned up and accurate post GA. > Would be nice to have fully working examples on Github, for most common scenarios across most AWS services. This is something that historically AWS SDKs have been inconsistent on. Just a request not really a question :-) There are lots of examples here [1], some simple, some quite complex. If there's something you have in mind, plea

In General Availability of the AWS SDK for Rust
That was the "I can't grok the docs.rs in order to tell you" part; in boto and the sane SDKs, there's a bunch of "Credential Providers" and they're in a list, meaning some are tried before others I have no idea what implementations there are for this: https://docs.rs/aws-sdk-s3/latest/aws_sdk_s3/struct.Credenti... and its official page is even worse: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-rust/latest/dg/credentia... Going all the way down to the GH readme seems to back up the investigation that, no, they really seem to have forgotten about "AWS_SESSION_TOKEN": https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust#getting-started-with...
In Show HN: A tool to seed your dev database with real data
I've said a few times that modern microservice architectures feel a lot like what traditional object-oriented programming was about, and I think this is another confirmation of that. I think that these days the connectors are JSON over HTTP, RPC and things like that. When a service exposes a JSON over HTTP API, I can use it from any programming language, from any program. So "first class connectors", to me, would be something like a language describing how to interact with a service, and a code generator that takes that language and transform it into code in your language. For example, the aws-sdk-rust [1] says: > The SDK is code generated from Smithy models that represent each AWS service. The code used to generate the SDK can be found in smithy-rs. Here's a link to Smithy's homepage: https://awslabs.github.io/smithy/. To me, Smithy with

a code generator looks like a connector that would increase your productivity. But I'm not sure if we can call something that relies on code generation "first class". I'm not sure what "first class connectors" would look like either. [1]: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust
