Beyond IaC: Bring your infrastructure to your app with sst
summary
A live demo builds an Instagram clone and successfully deploys the site, APIs, DynamoDB table and S3 image store while SST updates an autogenerated env file so functions import resources instead of reading process.env. SST v3 runs on Pulumi (so Terraform/any provider is possible) but remains AWS‑opinionated; the stack hides ~70 underlying building blocks for that workflow and reminds that AWS exposes ~250 services. SST integrates infra into app code and local Lambda tunneling enable fast dev loops.
