SST (Serverless Stack) provides the best developer experience for building full-stack apps on AWS. Live Lambda development, Ion v3 with Pulumi, and multi-cloud support.
Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
