Description

### Discussed in https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/discussions/3733

Originally posted by **kai-ion** February 25, 2026
In AWS SDK for C++ [v1.11.757](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/releases/tag/1.11.757), we released a new paginator API that enables automatic iteration over paginated service responses.

With this release, you can iterate through paginated results using a range-based interface without manually handling continuation tokens, loop state, or service-specific pagination fields. The paginator API reduces boilerplate code and aligns the C++ SDK with pagination functionality available in other AWS SDKs. For more information on paginator API, please refer to [API Reference – Aws::Utils::Pagination::Paginator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/latest/api/aws-cpp-sdk-core/html/class_aws_1_1_utils_1_1_pagination_1_1_paginator.html)

The new paginator APIs are additive and do not modify or remove any existing operations. All existing request/response patterns and manual token-based pagination workflows remain fully supported.

**Disclaimer**: The AWS SDKs are designed for usage with official AWS services. Paginators rely on service-defined pagination tokens and modeled traits. If using third-party or S3-compatible services, behavior may differ depending on how pagination tokens are implemented.

We welcome feedback on the paginator API design and ergonomics.
