- GitHub. Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python. Notices: On 2026-04-29, support for Python 3.9 ended for Boto3. AWS is also developing the next major version of the AWS SDK for Python (experimental, async, bi-directional streaming). Per GitHub (boto/boto3).
- GitHub. Benchmark comparing DuckDB, BigQuery, and Athena on 50GB Parquet. Uses boto3 for Athena benchmark setup. Results: DuckDB 5-8x faster, Athena 4.4x cheaper. Per GitHub (Insydia-Studio/benchmark-duckdb-athena-bigquery) (2026-01-26).
- Urgent response needed: Boto3 and Botocore end of support April 2026. Boto3 and Botocore ended support for Python 3.9 on 2026-04-29. Users running older Python versions need to plan migrations to supported runtimes. Per GitHub (aws/sagemaker-scikit-learn-container) (2026-01-16).
- Provide early development feedback on the next major version of the AWS SDK for Python. AWS released an experimental, non-GA next major version of the AWS SDK for Python. It uses modern Python paradigms, is asynchronous, supports bi-directional streaming, and currently only supports Bedrock Runtime. Install via uv pip install aws-sdk-bedrock-runtime. Per GitHub (boto/boto3) (2025-10-07).
- Benchmarking Storage Performance (Latency, Throughput) Using Python. Python guide to benchmark AWS S3 storage performance using boto3. Measures upload/download/list latency and throughput to compare storage classes and optimize costs. Per dev.to (arjun_mullick_e734b4da656) (2025-07-14).
