## What it is
The official modular AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3), offering TypeScript-first client packages for each AWS service with a configurable middleware stack. It is a rewrite of the monolithic v2 SDK that works across Node.js, browsers, and React Native.

## Use cases
- call aws services from node.js or the browser
- javascript sdk for s3 uploads and downloads
- query dynamodb from a lambda function in typescript
- sign requests to aws apis from javascript
- send sns notifications from a typescript app
- typescript client library for amazon web services
- migrate from aws sdk v2 to the modular v3 sdk

## When to choose
- You are building a JavaScript or TypeScript application that talks to AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, or SNS
- You want tree-shakeable, per-service npm packages instead of one large monolithic SDK
- You need first-class TypeScript types and a customizable middleware stack for AWS API calls

## When to avoid
- Your project is firmly on SDK v2 with no plans to migrate
- You need an AWS SDK in a language other than JavaScript or TypeScript
