AWS SDK Plugins for Grails 3
@benorama has released a initial set of Grails 3 plugins for AWS. You can use them to consume services such as S3, SES, SQS, DynamoDB, Kinesis.
We host our Grails 3 App in AWS and as you can imagine this announcement is of great interest to us.
A couple of months ago Mandrill , our transactional email provider, announced it planned to close its normal operations. Because of that we have moved to SES (AWS Simple Email Service) for transactional emails (reset password emails, etc) . It is a great plugin and I have even contributed a couple of pull requests to the AWS SES Grails 3 plugin 😙. Check it out!
