Advanced tools
Package description
The aws-sdk npm package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, providing JavaScript objects for AWS services including Amazon S3, EC2, DynamoDB, and more. It allows developers to interact with AWS services programmatically, enabling them to build scalable solutions with AWS infrastructure.
Interacting with Amazon S3
This code sample demonstrates how to retrieve an object from an Amazon S3 bucket using the aws-sdk.
{"const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const s3 = new AWS.S3();
const params = { Bucket: 'myBucket', Key: 'myKey' };
s3.getObject(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
else console.log(data);
});"}Managing EC2 Instances
This code sample shows how to describe EC2 instances, providing information about instances running in your AWS account.
{"const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const ec2 = new AWS.EC2();
const params = { InstanceIds: ['i-1234567890abcdef0'] };
ec2.describeInstances(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
else console.log(data);
});"}Working with DynamoDB
This code sample illustrates how to retrieve an item from a DynamoDB table using the aws-sdk.
{"const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const dynamoDB = new AWS.DynamoDB();
const params = {
TableName: 'myTable',
Key: {
'myKey': { S: 'myKeyValue' }
}
};
dynamoDB.getItem(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
else console.log(data);
});"}The google-cloud package is a client library for accessing Google Cloud services similar to how aws-sdk accesses AWS services. It supports services like Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and more. While aws-sdk is specific to AWS, google-cloud is tailored for Google Cloud Platform.
The azure-sdk is a collection of libraries for accessing Microsoft Azure resources. It provides functionality similar to aws-sdk but is designed for Azure services such as Azure Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, and others. It's a direct counterpart for Azure as aws-sdk is for AWS.
The ali-oss package is an SDK for Alibaba Cloud's OSS (Object Storage Service). It offers a subset of the features provided by aws-sdk, but specifically for Alibaba Cloud's storage service. It's a more specialized tool compared to the broad service coverage of aws-sdk.
