SST (Serverless Stack) is a framework that makes it easy to build serverless apps. It features: -- - A Live Lambda Development environment - Zero-config support for ES and TypeScript - Higher-level constructs designed for serverless
SST was a game changer in IAC. I mean I have been through pulumi and AWS CDK and I love the idea of typesafe IAC in a real programming language.
But the deployment speed of CDK and others is quite slow. So I was able to 10 fold my iteration speed with SST.
I also liket the console for logging!
I generally use AWS for all of my infrastructure needs but I hate messing with CloudFormation. CDK was nice but was also a bit cumbersome to get right. SST is CDK but on steroids. They make it super easy to create the primitives you need to GSD, without worrying that much about the specifics. And if you ever need to get in the weeds, you can create your own CDK constructs to do so.
