SST

SST is the deployment target for teams that want AWS infrastructure as code with a TypeScript app workflow.

Create with SST

npm create better-fullstack@latest my-app -- \
  --frontend next \
  --backend hono \
  --runtime node \
  --database postgres \
  --orm drizzle \
  --web-deploy sst \
  --server-deploy sst

The generator emits SST infrastructure files for supported fullstack, frontend, and server layouts.

When to choose SST

Choose SST when you want to own AWS resources explicitly, model infrastructure in code, or combine generated app services with other AWS resources. If you mainly want managed Git deployments, Vercel, Railway, or Fly.io may be simpler.

Before deploying

• Configure AWS credentials for the target account.
• Review generated infrastructure names before creating shared or production resources.
• Set environment variables and secrets through your chosen SST workflow.
• Confirm production database and provider resources exist before deploying the app.
