S3 / DynamoDB Access Settings with C / C ++

Question

I was looking for a C / C ++ interface for S3 and DynamoDB. I found libaws in sourceforge that supports S3, but not dynamodb, but does not look like it is supported. Any pointers?

Answer 1

I just came to the same intersection. Unfortunately, I could not find reliable libraries, so I myself write using POST, as described:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/MakingHTTPRequests.html

I have established a permanent, non-blocking socket connection with AWS. I POST sending (...) and listening for responses to an AWS socket using libev, sending a client socket to a callback so that I can respond directly to users from the callback. This replicates non-blocking calls that some of the official SDKs use, for example, for Node.js.

Answer 2

For S3, there are libaws . You can also try and get the source code of WebStor , (link in the blog post), but I have not tried this one.

DynamoDB will be tougher as it is a newer service. It’s best to follow Chris’s advice and make REST call itself.

Answer 3

Here is the recently released AWS DynamoDB Library for C. It is still under active development. The previous (less fully functional) version of this has been used in the production environment for over a year.
