## What it is
The official AWS SDK for Ruby (Version 3), providing idiomatic Ruby client libraries for AWS services such as S3, EC2, and DynamoDB. It is distributed as modular per-service gems on RubyGems and handles credential management, retries, pagination, waiters, and serialization.

## Use cases
- upload and download files to s3 from ruby
- manage ec2 instances programmatically with ruby
- query dynamodb from a ruby application
- configure aws credentials and regions in ruby apps
- call any aws service api from ruby
- paginate large aws api responses in ruby

## When to choose
- you are building Ruby applications that interact with AWS services
- you want official, maintained clients with credential handling, retries, and pagination built in
- you prefer installing only the gems for the AWS services you use

## When to avoid
- you use a different language runtime such as Python, Node.js, or Go
- you need a generic HTTP client for non-AWS APIs
- you are on legacy V2 of the SDK and cannot migrate

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: sdk, http-client, serialization, auth
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, apis
- platform: ruby, cross-platform
- tags: aws, aws-sdk, ruby-gems, cloud-services, modular
