The official AWS SDK for C++, providing a modern C++11 interface to Amazon Web Services with low- and high-level clients. It is production-ready, cross-platform, and built with CMake with minimal dependencies.

Use cases

• upload and download files to S3 from a C++ application
• call AWS services like EC2, DynamoDB, or SQS from C++
• build a cross-platform C++ app that integrates with AWS
• manage AWS resources programmatically from native code
• sign AWS API requests with credentials from C++

When to choose

• you need to access AWS services from C++ with official support
• you want a production-ready, cross-platform AWS client library
• you need fine-grained control over AWS API calls in native code

When to avoid

• your project is not in C++ or uses an older standard than C++11
• you only need simple HTTP calls to non-AWS endpoints
• build resources are very limited, since compiling the full SDK is memory-intensive
