About SST
SST is an open source framework for deploying full-stack apps to AWS. You describe the parts of your app in one TypeScript config file, and SST creates the cloud resources and links them together.
What it does
A single config can define an API, a website, a database and an email sender. SST wires these resources together, so each part can access the ones it links to. The sample config on the site also shows integrations with PlanetScale and Cloudflare DNS.
Key features
- Define databases, APIs, sites and email in one file
- Link resources so they connect automatically
- Config written in TypeScript
- Deploy the whole app with one command
- Windows support is listed as a beta feature
Who it's for
SST suits developers who build with AWS and want their infrastructure kept in the same repository as the app code. It fits small teams that prefer one tool over several separate deployment scripts.
Pricing and good to know
The code is MIT licensed on GitHub, so the framework is free to use. The AWS resources it creates are billed by AWS. Windows support is in beta, so check the docs for the latest status before relying on it.
