What is the AWS SDK for Rust?

Rust is a systems programming language without a garbage collector focused on three goals: safety, speed, and concurrency.

The AWS SDK for Rust (the SDK) provides Rust APIs to interact with Amazon Web Services infrastructure services. Using the SDK, you can build applications on top of Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and more.

Getting started with the SDK

If you are a first-time user of the SDK, we recommend that you begin by reading Get started with the AWS SDK for Rust.

For configuration and setup, including how to create and configure service clients for making requests to AWS services, see Configure the AWS SDK for Rust.

For information about using the SDK, see Use the AWS SDK for Rust.

For a complete list of Rust code examples, see Code examples.
