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 standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
