The official AWS SDK for Java, version 2, enabling Java applications to interact with Amazon Web Services such as S3, EC2, and DynamoDB. It is a rewrite of SDK 1.0 featuring non-blocking IO and pluggable HTTP implementations.

Use cases

• upload and download files to S3 from a Java application
• manage EC2 instances programmatically in Java
• call AWS services with non-blocking async clients
• authenticate and sign requests to AWS APIs from JVM apps
• integrate DynamoDB into a Spring Boot service
• consume AWS services via Maven dependencies

When to choose

• you build Java or JVM applications that use AWS services
• you need the officially supported, actively maintained AWS SDK for Java
• you want non-blocking IO and pluggable HTTP clients
• you need broad coverage of AWS service APIs

When to avoid

• your project is locked to the legacy 1.x SDK and cannot migrate
• you use a non-JVM language
• you only need a single lightweight REST call and prefer a plain HTTP client
