ExAws is a flexible, modular AWS client library for Elixir, with each AWS service (S3, DynamoDB, EC2, Lambda, SQS, etc.) provided as a separate package built on a shared core. It handles credential resolution, request signing, and streaming responses.
Use cases
- use AWS S3 from an Elixir application
- query DynamoDB in Elixir
- call AWS Lambda or SQS from Elixir
- resolve AWS credentials from env vars, ECS, or instance roles
- stream S3 object listings in Elixir
When to choose
- you're building an Elixir or Phoenix app that talks to AWS services
- you want a modular client where you only install the AWS services you use
- you need flexible credential resolution including IAM roles and pod identity
When to avoid
- you're not using the BEAM/Elixir ecosystem
- you need an AWS service that has no ExAws service package yet
- you prefer the official AWS SDK tooling
