## What it is
The AWS SDK for Go v1, providing Go clients for AWS services such as S3, EC2, and more. It reached end-of-support on July 31, 2025 and users should migrate to AWS SDK for Go v2.

## Use cases
- call AWS services from Go code
- upload files to S3 from a Go application
- manage AWS resources programmatically
- maintain a legacy Go app that uses AWS SDK v1
- authenticate and sign requests to AWS APIs

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing Go codebase already built on SDK v1
- you need a stable, frozen version for legacy compatibility

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Go project that uses AWS
- you need ongoing updates, new AWS features, or security fixes
- you want long-term AWS support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, http-client, cloud
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, apis
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: aws, go-sdk, end-of-support, legacy
