 ## Configuration
 
 To configure the server, pass `config`. It is suggested to modify the default config, for example:
-```
+
+```julia
 config = GoAWS.default_config()
 config["Local"]["LogToFile"] = true
 server = Server(; config)

+
+Constructs an `AbstractAWSConfig` for use with AWS.jl, to configure
+SQS and SNS to use GoAWS.
+
+## Examples
+
+Here we demonstrate using the config with a local server we launch
+as a subprocess.
+
+```julia
+using GoAWS, AWS
+@service SQS
+
+server = GoAWS.Server()
+aws_config = GoAWSConfig(server)
+run(server; wait=false)
+
+# ... now we can use the config:
+SQS.create_queue("my_queue"; aws_config)
+
+kill(server) # when you are done
+```
+
+One can also use a `GoAWSConfig` with a GoAWS server launched outside
+of the Julia process. Simply set the `endpoint` and `region` using the
+keyword argument constructor:
+
+```julia
+aws_config = GoAWSConfig(; endpoint="localhost:5203", region="us-east-1") 
+# ... now we can use the config:
+SQS.create_queue("my_queue"; aws_config)
+```
