I am just about to start working with AWS (s3 and ec2) and I was wondering which gem is better: aws-sdk or fog?
I would say AWS-SDK. I have not used fog, but have used the AWS gem, and switched. I have found that the official support and bug fixing from the ruby person at Amazon has been pretty good. Also the code in AWS-SDK is nice and clean, and I like the approach. When AWS announces a new feature, the AWS-SDK client seems to get updated within days to support it.
I looked at fog, and immediately decided against it: a) Too many gem dependencies. b) Lowest common denominator, and c) Internal complexity, needed because it supports many different protocols.
