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
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
