With SST we set out to create a project that is both usable by people just getting started with serverless and by enterprises managing large scale applications. It required us to make DX an explicit goal of the project, especially given all the complexity and confusion around AWS and serverless.
Over the last 2 years as the project has grown to 14k stars on GitHub, 200k monthly downloads, and nearly 4k Discord members. We’ve learnt a ton from the experience. This talk is a distillation of everything we’ve learnt. We cover all the basics. But also look at some surprising things we learnt. And some of the obvious mistakes we see from other projects when they fall short.
