Introduction

awsimple is a simple interface into basic AWS services such as S3 (Simple Storage Service) and DynamoDB (a simple NoSQL database). It has a set of higher level default settings and behavior that should cover many basic usage models.

Discussion

While AWS has many varied services with extensive flexibility, using it for more straight-forward applications is sometimes a daunting task. There are access modes that are probably not requried and some default behaviors are not best for common usages. awsimple aims to create a higher level API to AWS services (such as S3 and DynamoDB) to improve programmer productivity.
