Deprecate AWS integration packages in favor of Spring Cloud AWS ports

[odrotbohm]

We're waiting for the Spring Cloud AWS 3.2 release to officially deprecate our event externalization implementations for SQS and SNS. /cc @maciejwalkowiak

Required steps

• Log a deprecation warning on startup if a deprecated module is used
• Update reference documentation to list the modules as deprecated and point to the Spring Cloud AWS equivalents

Hey @odrotbohm 👋

I would like to contribute to this issue.

As far as I understand, the goal is to:

• log a warning once sns/sqs is used - ex. in a beans initialization in both starters?
• update of reference documentation - adding new section in appendix with Deprecated modules section?

[odrotbohm]

Sorry for the late reply. Feel free to go ahead and prepare the PR. Just be aware that we can only merge it, once Spring Cloud AWS has shipped a release version containing the replacements.

@mslowiak – I've assigned you the ticket and removed the label. Please let me know if your plans change, and you do not want to go forward with this.

[mslowiak]

@odrotbohm Happy to work on that, but I am in vacay mode till 13/09 👍

[maciejwalkowiak]

Apologies for a delay - I've been having tough time past months and couldn't focus on finishing the release.

Spring Cloud AWS 3.2.0 with Modulith integration has been released yesterday: https://github.com/awspring/spring-cloud-aws/releases/tag/v3.2.0

[odrotbohm]

Uhh, that's perfect timing, Maciej! Thanks for the heads-up. Just enough time for us to get the deprecation in for the release candidate, end of October.

@mslowiak – Do you think that schedule works out for you?

[mslowiak]

@odrotbohm Will prepare PR by the end of week 👍

[odrotbohm]

That's merged. Thanks again, both Maciej and Marcin! 🫶

Hi @odrotbohm ,

https://docs.spring.io/spring-modulith/reference/events.html#externalization pointed me to spring-modulith-events-aws-sqs . Reading the source code of SqsEventExternalizerConfiguration.java in that showed me:

		logger.warn("""
				The module 'spring-modulith-events-aws-sqs' is deprecated since the version 1.3 of Spring Modulith.
				To continue using AWS SQS integration, migrate to 'io.awspring.cloud:spring-cloud-aws-modulith-events-sqs'.
				""");

Looking at the required steps of this issue:

• Log a deprecation warning on startup if a deprecated module is used => pointed me to the deprecation
• Update reference documentation to list the modules as deprecated and point to the Spring Cloud AWS equivalents => I did not see that at https://docs.spring.io/spring-modulith/reference/events.html#externalization . Maybe there is another place that I missed but it might be missing.

Thanks for this project, it is a great help!

[odrotbohm]

The deprecated modules are listed here. I'll make sure I mark the AWS ones as deprecated in the externalization section, too.

[JosRoseboom]

Ah, I missed that one. Thanks for the link and really fast response!

[odrotbohm]

I've added a note to the 1.3 documentation.
