Deal Highlights
SST — Build Full-Stack Apps on AWS the Easy Way
SST (Serverless Stack) is a framework for building full-stack applications on AWS with a live Lambda development experience. Define AWS resources in code, develop with real cloud services locally, and deploy to production — without the complexity of raw CloudFormation or SAM.
Live Lambda Development
The killer feature: SST connects your local code to real AWS services. Edit a Lambda function, save, and see changes in under 1 second — no deploy, no emulation. You develop against real DynamoDB, S3, and API Gateway while code runs locally.
Infrastructure as Code
Define AWS resources — API routes, databases, cron jobs, queues, storage — using TypeScript constructs. SST compiles to CloudFormation but you never write YAML.
SST vs AWS SAM
SAM is AWS official serverless framework with complex YAML templates. SST uses TypeScript with better developer experience and live development. SAM for raw AWS. SST for productive AWS development.
Pricing
