About the team
The mission of the AWS SDK teams is to simplify the use of AWS for developers and allow them to build secure, reliable, idiomatic, and performant applications using any AWS service in the most popular programming languages. We achieve this mission by 1) vending SDKs that cover all AWS service APIs, 2) driving consistencies across AWS Services APIs, 3) owning the overall developer experience in all the supported programming languages, and 4) delivering a set of libraries that provide higher level abstraction and reduce the complexity of using AWS Services.
