Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I’ve been messing around with lately – comparing Soto and Wheeler. Now, I’m no expert, but I like to tinker, and I figured I’d share my little experiment with you all.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to get both Soto and Wheeler set up. I already had some experience with AWS SDKs, so Soto wasn’t totally foreign to me. Wheeler, on the other hand, was new territory. I basically just followed the setup instructions for both, nothing fancy. I made sure I had my AWS credentials configured correctly – that’s always step one, right?
The Experiment
My goal was simple, I use them separately to do the same job, create a file, and put it into my S3 storage bucket.
I started poking around, trying to figure out how to create a simple S3 client with each. With Soto, it felt pretty familiar if you’ve used other AWS SDKs. Wheeler had a slightly different approach, It took me a little bit to wrap my head around it.
Soto’s Approach
With Soto, I created a client, and then it was pretty straightforward to use the `putObject` function to upload a file to my S3 bucket. I’ve done this kind of thing a million times with other languages and SDKs, so it felt comfortable.
- Create a client: Pretty standard stuff.
- Use `putObject` : Felt like using any other AWS SDK.
- Done: File’s in the bucket!
Wheeler’s Way
Wheeler took a bit more figuring out. It has this concept of “commands” and “operations” that felt a little different. I had to dig through the documentation to find the equivalent of `putObject`. It wasn’t super obvious at first, but once I found it, it made sense. The file were created and added into S3 bucket successfully.
- Read the document: Find the right way to operate.
- Figure out commands: A little bit of a learning curve here.
- Find the right operation: Took some digging, but I got there.
- Upload: Worked like a charm!
My Takeaway
Honestly, both Soto and Wheeler got the job done. Soto felt more immediately familiar, given my background. Wheeler, with its different structure, required a bit more learning upfront, but it wasn’t rocket science. And I think it’s worth it.
So, there you have it – my little adventure comparing Soto and Wheeler. It’s not a definitive guide or anything, just one guy’s experience messing around. Hope it’s helpful to someone out there!
