I gather the impact of Smithy is to generate something like an old style CORBA client/server stubs and vocabulary types for a given serialization, and communication schema (HTTP2, gRPC) in a target language? Is Smithy specific to interoperating with AWS services or can used in pretty much any distributed system?
- mtdowling 5y agoPretty much, but Smithy can be used for anything and isn’t specific to AWS. The AWS modeling support in Smithy is all through extensions that aren’t part of the core. It’s also protocol agnostic and can be used in a lot of applications (HTTP, MQTT, and we are even experimenting using Smithy to generate C ABI bindings for non client server stuff).
