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 most mature AI developer platform. Assistants API, function calling, and the Playground are all well-designed. Documentation is extensive.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“Reliability has improved dramatically. The rate limits are generous on paid tiers. The Assistants API is finally stable enough for production.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“OpenAI has the largest ecosystem of developers and integrations. Even if other models catch up, the platform moat is real.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
