AWS SDK for Java 2.x Core Patterns

Overview

Use this skill to set up AWS SDK for Java 2.x clients with production-safe defaults.

It focuses on the decisions that matter most:

• how credentials and region are resolved
• how to configure sync and async HTTP clients
• how to apply timeouts, retries, lifecycle management, and tests

Keep SKILL.md focused on setup and delivery flow. Use the references/ files for deeper API details and expanded examples.

When to Use

• Creating or hardening AWS SDK for Java 2.x service clients
• Wiring Spring Boot beans for AWS integration
• Debugging auth, region, or credential issues
• Choosing between sync (S3Client, DynamoDbClient) and async (S3AsyncClient, SqsAsyncClient) clients
