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 metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
