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
“BubbleUp for finding anomalies in high-cardinality data is genuinely innovative. Best for debugging distributed systems.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“The observability approach is different from metrics/logs/traces — and better for finding unknown unknowns.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“As systems grow more complex, observability tools that surface problems automatically become essential. Honeycomb leads here.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
