We are excited to announce support for generating a Java SDK for services fronted by HAQM API Gateway. The generated Java SDKs are compatible with Java 8 and later. Generated SDKs have first-class support for API keys, custom or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication, automatic and configurable retries, exception handling, and more. In […]

I’m glad to announce that the AWS Elastic Beanstalk plugin in the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse now supports Configuring VPC with Elastic Beanstalk. If you’re new to AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, see the User Guide for a basic introduction and setup guidance. If you’re new to AWS Elastic Beanstalk plugin, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Eclipse Integration to learn […]

We’re pleased to announce the addition of the waiters feature in the AWS SDK for Java (take a look at the release notes). Waiters make it easier to wait for a resource to transition into a desired state, which is a very common task when you’re working with services that are eventually consistent (such as […]

Back in March (1.10.59), the AWS SDK for Java introduced throttled retries, an opt-in feature that could be enabled in the SDK ClientConfiguration to retry failed service requests. Typically, client-side retries are used to avoid unnecessarily surfacing exceptions caused by transient network or service issues. However, when there are longer-running issues (for example, a network or service […]

This is part III of a blog post series in which we do a deep dive on automated security testing for AWS applications. In part I, we discussed how AWS Java developers can create security unit tests to verify the correctness of their AWS applications by testing individual units of code in isolation. In part […]

The adoption of DevOps practices allows organizations to be agile while deploying high-quality software to customers on a regular basis. The CI/CD pipeline is an important component of the DevOps model. It automates critical verification tasks, making fully automated software deployments possible. Security tests are critical to the CI/CD pipeline. These tests verify whether the […]

Exception handling in the AWS SDK for Java just got a little easier! We just introduced base exception classes for all AWS services in the SDK. Now all modeled exceptions extend from this service-specific base exception and all unmodeled exceptions (unknown exceptions thrown by the service) will be unmarshalled into the service-specific base exception, and […]

We are pleased to announce a better, more intuitive way to construct and configure service clients in the AWS SDK for Java. Previously, the only way to construct a service client was through one of the many overloaded constructors in the client class. Finding the right constructor was difficult and sometimes required duplicating the default […]

The HAQM SQS Extended Client is an open-source Java library that lets you manage HAQM SQS message payloads with HAQM S3. This is especially useful for storing and retrieving messages with a message payload size larger than the SQS limit of 256 KB. Some customers have asked us about encryption. This blog post explains how […]
