Ask HN: What internal tooling does AWS use for their API and Authorization?

3 pointsby hhthrowaway1230over 2 years ago
Is there any documentation or sources on how they build their apis and authorization layer? It seems that its pretty consistent and follows conventions in generating:<p>- Generated cli tools<p>- Generated client libraries<p>- Documentation for said libraries<p>- Conventions for endpoints and hosting<p>- Authorisation via policies<p>Also they seem to follow an RPC style convention. Any leads on a framework that does exactly this in a consistent way so you can build your own kind of services in a similar manner<p>Thank you

They have a well developed internal system, recently theyve been moving to Smithy which is Open source.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;awslabs.github.io&#x2F;smithy&#x2F;2.0&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;awslabs.github.io&#x2F;smithy&#x2F;2.0&#x2F;index.html</a>
