## What it is
AWS SDK for JavaScript version 2, providing access to AWS services from Node.js and the browser. It reached end-of-support on September 8, 2025 and users should migrate to aws-sdk-js-v3.

## Use cases
- call AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, or SQS from Node.js
- maintain a legacy JavaScript app still using AWS SDK v2
- access AWS APIs from the browser in an older codebase
- sign AWS API requests in JavaScript

## When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing application already built on SDK v2 and cannot migrate yet

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 instead
- you need security updates or support for new AWS features
- you want long-term maintained tooling

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, http-client, cloud
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, apis
