About:
aws-crt-cpp provides a modern C++ interface for the AWS Common Runtime, wrapping the underlying C libraries like aws-c-io and aws-c-mqtt. It simplifies building high-performance AWS applications by handling memory management and object lifecycles automatically. This enables developers to interact with AWS IoT, S3, and other services using idiomatic C++ patterns.
Key Features:
  • RAII wrappers for AWS resources
  • Asynchronous API support
  • Integration with AWS IoT Core
  • High-performance networking
  • Type-safe C++ bindings
Use Cases:
  • Developing connected applications for AWS IoT
  • Building high-performance cloud-native C++ services
  • Implementing MQTT clients in C++
  • Creating secure communication channels with AWS
Alternatives:
  • aws-sdk-cpp – The full AWS SDK is heavier and broader; aws-crt-cpp is lighter and focused on the Common Runtime for connectivity.
  • paho-mqtt-c++ – Paho is a generic MQTT client; aws-crt-cpp offers deeper integration with AWS-specific services and auth.
