migration guide for aws-smithy-client

[cetanu]

Describe the issue

I'm updating some dependencies for an open-source project and they are using aws-smithy-client.

When I browse the docs for this crate, it shows that the crate is now empty and was deprecated some time ago.
However, I cannot find a corresponding guide for migrating away from using this crate.

Can someone point me to such documentation, or an example of how to use some alternative in place of the now-removed crate?

What is the open source project trying to do with the client? Could you share a link to it? We have a lot of migration guides at the moment but I think this one is the most relevant.

The changelogs for both aws-sdk-rust and smithy-rs should have information on breaking changes:
https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-rs/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

The example code also needs to be updated. It is currently broken with this change.

Thanks for letting us know! It looks like it fell out of the Cargo workspace, so it wasn't getting picked up by CI. I filed an issue on the examples repo to fix it: awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples#5668

The project is vector, there are usages such as this throughout the codebase: https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/src/sinks/aws_cloudwatch_logs/config.rs#L36-L50

I'll read through the provided docs and give it a crack at some point
