SST
Deploy Next.js, Remix, or anything to AWS with zero config. IaC that doesn't suck.
In plain English
Like hiring a contractor who knows how to work with the biggest hardware store in the world (AWS). You tell them what you need — 'I need a database, a place to store files, and a way to send emails' — and they set it all up for you.
Real-world example
Your app is growing and Vercel's free tier isn't cutting it. You need a real database, background jobs, and file storage. SST lets you describe what you need in a config file and deploys it all to AWS with one command.
Where this fits in your project
This deploys your app to AWS (the world's biggest cloud) with simple configuration instead of clicking through dashboards.
When to use this
When you want to deploy to AWS without the complexity. Infrastructure as code that actually makes sense.
The situation
You're building something serious that needs AWS infrastructure — databases, queues, storage, CDN — but you don't want to learn CloudFormation.
Good for
- + Production apps on AWS
- + Apps that need custom infrastructure
- + Teams moving beyond Vercel
Not ideal for
- - Simple static sites
- - Quick prototypes
- - When Vercel does everything you need
Getting started
Run `npx sst@latest init` in your project and follow the setup.
