AWS SDK for Kotlin overview
summary
AWS ships a Kotlin SDK built from scratch (about 76,000 handwritten lines and ~6,000,000 generated), published as developer preview (0.21.4). It exposes AWS operations as suspend functions, offers DSL-style builders and multiplatform JVM support now. Live demos show S3 uploads/downloads and DynamoDB scans working, paginators and waiters handling large result sets, and async conversion cutting a 17s serial upload to ~2s concurrent. Gradle-per-service deps keep binaries small; codegen comes from Smithy models.
