AWS Node.js SDK

AWS offers SDKs for many different languages, including Node.js. Some of the languages for which it offers SDKs are:

  • Node.js
  • Java
  • .NET
  • Go
  • C++
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari etc.,)
  • AWS IOT

However, there are many more languages and platforms that could be included in this list. I will be using the AWS Node.js SDK to create serverless applications later in the book. Let's get an overview of the AWS Node.js SDK.

In your Command Prompt or Terminal, run the following command to get the AWS Node.js SDK installed. A prerequisite for this is to have Node.js installed. You can follow the instructions that we provided earlier in the chapter.
