The official AWS SDK for Java 1.x, providing Java APIs for AWS services such as S3, EC2, and DynamoDB, including credential management, retries, and serialization. It reached end-of-support on December 31, 2025, and AWS recommends migrating to AWS SDK for Java 2.x.

Use cases

  • call aws services from java
  • upload files to s3 from a java application
  • query dynamodb from java
  • manage ec2 instances programmatically
  • maintain a legacy java app using aws sdk 1.x
  • migrate from aws sdk java 1.x to 2.x

When to choose

  • you are maintaining an existing legacy application already built on SDK 1.x
  • you need to read or patch old code that depends on com.amazonaws artifacts
  • you are planning or executing a migration to SDK 2.x

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new Java project on AWS - use aws-sdk-java-v2 instead
  • you need support, security fixes, or new AWS service features
  • you need nonblocking I/O or HTTP/2 support
