Hello, Perl Developers!
Are you aware that Perl developers can tap into the extensive services offered by AWS? For years, users have been running Perl workloads on AWS, but if you’re interested in utilizing services like Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) or Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), where should you begin?
Whether you are new to Perl or a seasoned professional, Paws, an AWS Community SDK for Perl, is your go-to solution. If you’re constructing a new application or transitioning a long-standing workload, Paws can assist you in taking full advantage of AWS services, allowing you to focus on what truly matters rather than getting bogged down in unnecessary tasks. When you migrate an existing Perl application to AWS, you gain the opportunity to gradually refactor it to utilize AWS managed services.
About Paws
Paws was created by Lucas Johnson, a leading developer at Tech Innovations in San Francisco. In his presentation, “Developing Paws: a Perl AWS SDK,” during the YAPC::North America 2016, Johnson shared his strategy for launching Paws. He posed the question, “How can I possibly cover all the available services?” His solution involved auto-generating Perl code from the boto3 code base.
The initial release of Paws took place on May 1, 2016. Since then, there have been over twenty releases, each enhancing the previous version by adding new services and features. Last December, Johnson provided an update on its development during the San Francisco Perl Meetup.
Thanks to numerous contributors, Paws has developed into a robust tool. The possibilities are endless, and if you are a Perl programmer, you will find it remarkably easy to begin.
