Spring Cloud AWS 3.0.0

Spring Cloud AWS 3.0 is a recent release of the Spring Cloud AWS project. This version represents a complete rewrite of the library using AWS SDK v2 for Java. Since this has required a major refactoring, we took it as an opportunity to revisit all the assumptions and integrations modules.

Spring Cloud AWS 3.0 has been developed with following principles in mind:

• Spring Boot “native” developer experience - sensible defaults, highly customizable
• Minimal startup time overhead
• Integration module independent of each other
• Kotlin friendly (@Nullable annotations)
• Testing as a first class citizen - Spring Cloud AWS uses Localstack in its own tests and we made the library easy to use with Localstack.

The samples in the project have been updated to support Spring Boot 3.0.x. The goal for 2.0.0 is to simply release it with updated dependencies and get there quickly now that the first milestone is out.

The next minor version 2.1.x will depend on Spring Security 6.1.x and will let us start…
