V2 of the aws-sdk-go reached GA on 19.01.21 and it looks like they've simplified the client, gotten rid of excessive pointer usage, cleaned up the package organization and improved error types. v1 isn't scheduled for deprecation yet however but it seems like a worthwhile migration to make.

Summary

• It's a nice time to move to V2 since we don't have major features atm
• Testing might be complicated
• No breaking changes, only changes will be to accommodate v2
• First do a Spike to find out what's involved and how much effort is involved when we move to a new version
• Time box : 1-2 days
