title: Are Boto3 Resources and Clients Equivalent? When Use One or Other?
body: <p>Boto3 Mavens,</p>
  
  <p>What is the functional difference, if any, between Clients and Resources?</p>
  
  <p>Are they functionally equivalent?</p>
  
  <p>Under what conditions would you elect to invoke a Boto3 Resource vs. a Client (and vice-versa)?</p>
  
  <p>Although I've endeavored to answer this question by RTM...regrets, understanding the functional difference between the two eludes me.</p>
  
  <p>Your thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>Many, <em>many</em> thanks!</p>
