The official AWS SDK version 2 for the Go programming language, providing clients and utilities for all AWS services such as S3, EC2, and DynamoDB. It is modular, actively maintained by AWS, and requires Go 1.24 or later.
Use cases
- upload and download files to Amazon S3 from a Go application
- query DynamoDB tables from Go
- manage EC2 instances programmatically
- send messages to SQS or publish to SNS from Go services
- authenticate Go apps against AWS with IAM credentials
- build Lambda functions that call other AWS services
When to choose
- you are building Go applications that interact with AWS services
- you want the officially supported, modular v2 SDK with active AWS maintenance
- you need idiomatic Go APIs with context support and per-service packages
When to avoid
- your project is locked to Go versions older than 1.24
- you are maintaining a legacy codebase already built on AWS SDK Go v1 with no migration budget
- you need a multi-cloud abstraction rather than AWS-specific clients
