Reviewer scorecard
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“Cheapest way to run Llama and Mistral models in production. The inference speed is competitive with major providers. OpenAI-compatible API makes switching easy.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“The pricing is genuinely good and reliability has improved. The fine-tuning workflow is straightforward. A solid choice for open-source model deployment.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
“Together is betting that the future is open-source models. As Llama and Mistral improve, inference providers like Together become the AWS of AI.”
