AWS has an infrastructure as code tool called CloudFormation. Instead of going into AWS UI, clicking a bunch of things to configure something, you can do this all in this YAML specification. So they built a layer that compiles to CloudFormation called CDK. A lot of people are still using CloudFormation directly just because they have the experience with it. SST, the thing that we build is actually built on top of CDK.
In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Dax Raad about building on serverless infrastructure, Next.js, and SST.
