Experimental: This documentation covers the AWS SDK for Python v4, which is experimental, non-GA software intended for evaluation and testing only. Do not use it for production workloads. For production applications, use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3). To understand the differences between the two SDKs, see Choosing the right AWS SDK for Python.
Working with AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)
If you have existing Boto3 code and want to evaluate the AWS SDK for Python v4, these pages help you get started:
Key differences: API-model and execution differences between the two SDKs.
Use both SDKs in one application: Architectural patterns for running both SDKs together, including configuration, sync/async boundaries, and common pitfalls.
Convert AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) operations to the AWS SDK for Python v4: Rewrite individual Boto3 calls using the generated types and async model of the new SDK.
Choosing the right AWS SDK for Python: Decision guide for determining the best path for your workload.
