AWS SDK for Zig
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
[](https://git.lerch.org/lobo/aws-sdk-for-zig/actions?workflow=build.yaml&state=closed)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: THIS SDK IS CURRENTLY UNUSABLE FOR SEVERAL IMPORTANT AWS SERVICES
|
|
WITHOUT A PROXY. SEE LIMITATIONS SECTION BELOW**
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 0.11 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](example/README.md).
|
|
|
|
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](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.
|
|
|
|
Other branches
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The default branch is fully functional but requires TLS 1.3. Until AWS Services
|
|
support TLS 1.3 at the end of 2023, the [0.9.0 branch](https://git.lerch.org/lobo/aws-sdk-for-zig/src/branch/0.9.0)
|
|
may be of use. More details below in limitations. This branch overall is
|
|
superior, as is the 0.11 compiler, but if you need a service that doesn't support
|
|
TLS 1.3 and you need it right away, feel free to use that branch. Note I do not
|
|
intend to update code in the 0.9.0 branch, but will accept PRs.
|
|
|
|
An [old branch based on aws-crt](https://github.com/elerch/aws-sdk-for-zig/tree/aws-crt) exists
|
|
for posterity, and supports x86_64 linux. The old branch is deprecated, so if
|
|
there are issues you see that work correctly in the aws-crt branch, please
|
|
file an issue. I can't think of a reason to use this branch any more. I do not
|
|
intend to entertain PRs on this branch, but reach out if you think it is important.
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The zig 0.11 HTTP client supports TLS 1.3 only. This, IMHO, is a reasonable
|
|
restriction given its introduction 5 years ago, but is inflicting some short
|
|
term pain on this project as AWS has not yet fully implemented the protocol. AWS has
|
|
committed to [TLS 1.3 support across all services by the end of 2023](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/faster-aws-cloud-connections-with-tls-1-3/), but many (most) services as of August 28th have not yet
|
|
been upgraded. Proxy support has been added, so to get to the services that
|
|
do not yet support TLS 1.3, you can use something like [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/)
|
|
to proxy those requests. Of course, this is not a good production solution...
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Compiler wishlist/watchlist:
|
|
|
|
* [comptime allocations](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1291) so we can read files, etc (or is there another way)
|
|
|
|
