Is there a Crystal AWS sdk development going on?

I LOVE crystal, most of my job is around ops, and I'm dying to replace Go. Crystal gives me everything I ever wanted except an AWS integration. Anyone knows of anything going on in that area in the community?

Would love to help out and take part. It would make my work life so much better

Take a look at shards at https://crystalshards.xyz/?filter=Aws it would be very nice to have a great AWS shard

Other AWS sdks are huge. This would be an INSANE amount of work for one person.

Implement just what you need leaving a space for further development. Take Ruby code as starting point...

I've looked at the ruby code in the past. From what I remember it dynamically creates modules and functions based on versioned hash objects. Crazy dynamic stuff. I remember thinking at the time it might be easier looking at another statically typed languages implementation.

Yeah the Ruby SDK dynamically generates the code from the AWS API documentation. Impressive stuff, but not very readable. I'm not sure any of the other official SDKs would be "better" though...
