AWS SDK for Zig

Zig 0.13:

Build Status: Zig 0.13.0

Last Mach Nominated Zig Version:

Build Status: Mach nominated

Nightly Zig:

Build Status: Zig Nightly

Current executable size for the demo is 980k after compiling with -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall in x86_linux, and will vary based on services used. Tested targets:

  • x86_64-linux
  • riscv64-linux*
  • aarch64-linux
  • x86_64-windows
  • arm-linux
  • aarch64-macos
  • x86_64-macos

Tested targets are built, but not continuously tested, by CI.

* On Zig 0.12/0.13, riscv64-linux disabled due to LLLM's O(N^2) codegen

Zig-Develop Branch

This branch is intended for use with the in-development version of Zig. This starts with 0.12.0-dev.3180+83e578a18. This is aligned with Mach Engine's Nominated Zig Versions. Nightly zig versions are difficult to keep up with and there is no special effort made there, build status is FYI (and used as a canary for nominated zig versions).

Building

zig build should work. It will build the code generation project, fetch model files from upstream AWS Go SDK v2, run the code generation, then build the main project with the generated code. Testing can be done with zig test.

Using

This is designed for use with the Zig package manager, and exposes a module called "aws". Set up build.zig.zon and add the dependency/module to your project as normal and the package manager should do its thing. A full example can be found in /example.

Configuring the module and/or Running the demo

This library mimics the aws c libraries for it's work, so it operates like most other 'AWS things'. /src/main.zig gives you a handful of examples for working with services. For local testing or alternative endpoints, there's no real standard, so there is code to look for AWS_ENDPOINT_URL environment variable that will supersede all other configuration.

Limitations

WebIdentityToken is not yet implemented.

TODO List:

  • Json parsing is based on a fork of the 0.9.0 (maybe earlier?) json parser. This needs a re-visit. Note also that a json.zig file is embedded/copied from the codegen project, so that also needs a second look.
  • Take a look to see about compilation speed. With codegen caching this is reasonable, but still takes longer than needed.
  • Upgrade the model files. This is a simple tasks, but I'd like the first item on this list to be completed first.
  • Implement sigv4a signing
  • Implement jitter/exponential backoff
  • Implement timeouts and other TODO's in the code
  • Add option to cache signature keys

Services without TLS 1.3 support

All AWS services should support TLS 1.3 at this point, but there are many regions and several partitions, and not all of them have been tested, so your mileage may vary. If something doesn't work, please submit an issue to let others know.

Dependency tree

No dependencies:

  • aws_authentication: base structure for credentials (only one type)
  • aws_http_base: contains basic structures for http requests/results
  • case: provides functions to change casing
  • date: provides limited date manipulation functions
  • json: custom version of earlier stdlib json parser
  • xml: custom xml parser library
  • url: custom url encoding

aws_credentials: Allows credential handling aws_authentication

aws_http: aws_http_base aws_signing

aws_signing: handles signing of http requests aws_http_base aws_authentication date

aws: main usage point for libraries aws_http json url case date servicemodel xml_shaper aws_credentials aws_authentication

main: main entrypoint for demo executable aws

servicemodel: Provides access to all aws service generated models all generated model files

xml_shaper: Manages interface from xml to in memory structures xml date
