SST

Framework for building full-stack apps on your own AWS account

Open SourceFree TierAdded Jan 1, 2021

About

SST (Serverless Stack) is an open-source framework for building and deploying full-stack applications on AWS. It provides high-level components for common patterns like APIs, databases, cron jobs, queues, and static sites, while deploying directly to your own AWS account. SST v3 introduced Ion, a new engine based on Pulumi and Terraform, supporting not just AWS but also Cloudflare and more. It includes a local development environment with live Lambda debugging.

Origin Story

By Jay V

The Problem

AWS has incredible services but deploying full-stack apps on it requires deep infrastructure knowledge and tons of configuration.

Building It

Started 2020 as a serverless framework, pivoted to full-stack with SST v3/Ion in 2024. Active open-source community.

What It Means

Proves that infrastructure-as-code can be developer-friendly, not just DevOps-friendly.

The Dream

Make deploying to your own AWS account as easy as deploying to Vercel.
