It supports both synchronous and asynchronous (threaded) metric sending, with optional buffering to batch metrics before transmission. By default, boto3 is an optional dependency, allowing the package to deploy with minimal overhead in AWS Lambda environments where the SDK is already available; outside Lambda, you install it via the boto3 extra.\n\nThe library lets you create a CloudWatch client with a namespace and default dimensions, then log individual metrics with optional per-metric dimensions, values, units, and storage resolution. It handles buffer flushing automatically at exit in standard applications, but provides an explicit flush method for Lambda functions where the process may be frozen before cleanup runs.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2019, no maintenance since early 2023) and depends on boto3 semantics that may have evolved. For new projects, use boto3 directly or a maintained CloudWatch wrapper. If you have legacy code already using awsme, it may still work, but expect no fixes for compatibility issues with modern Python or AWS SDK versions."},"id":"awsme","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awsme","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awsme.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/awsme/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-03-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"awsme","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"AWS CloudWatch client library to send metrics conveniently and efficiently"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":97858,"position":13123,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
