Reviewer scorecard
“The best way to use AWS. Live Lambda debugging, simple configuration, and the migration to Ion (Pulumi-based) is smart.”
“150ms cold starts for sandboxed code execution. Essential for AI agents that need to run untrusted code safely.”
“Makes AWS approachable for full-stack developers. The DX gap between SST and raw CDK is enormous.”
“AI agents running code need sandboxing. E2B's micro-VMs are purpose-built for this use case.”
“SST proves AWS can have great DX. Ion's Pulumi-based multi-cloud approach positions it for the future.”
“Safe code execution for AI agents is critical infrastructure. E2B is building the sandbox layer that every agent needs.”
