@Dennis Dang has been working with me on migrating our API to SST. It's been a fun adventure, we're about to deploy the new setup to QA and UAT
f
congrats guys!
is it Prod after UAT? or is there E2E, Staging, PreProd.. 🤪
d
Prod indeed
including migration of live customer data
the big leagues

Seriously, thank you so much for building this. Since using the sls framework, man I was like "why can't I just have an incremental live system deployed and torn down per dev"? Boom, SST.
d
Yah we've been geeking out over Phoenix's LiveView, and this comes surprisingly close to that
f
that’s super motivating for us to hear it!
Still lots of room to make SST simpler and faster… u guys have been thru it now. Anything u’d like to see improved, I’m all ears
d
haha liveview being as close to a websocket-based dev system. Yeah we'll certainly share @Frank. Thanks again

I'm coming to this after being in full elixir mode for the past 5 years
Takes a lot to get me to switch and SST did it

Interesting, I've been actually trying to get away from serverless and back into the monolithic Elixir world. Happy to share your thoughts on why you made the switch?

1. Typing. I missed working with a good type system and having that safety. Typescript is a good enough type system and still lets my write functional code 2. As much as I love Elixir I entered into it through the dist systems side. Lately it's become really focused on being a better Rails - which it definitely is but just not my thing 3. I'm very focused on building a business that has 100% understanding of its margins (for a bunch of downstream benefits) and serverless is key in enabling that
