Just want to give a shout out to this community. My startup, Cloakist, is heavily based around Lambda functions. Using sst makes my life as an indie hacker (team of one) so much easier than it should be. And the support I've got from the people here, especially @Frank, is absolutely nuts. What a cool product, and what a great team! I compare sst/Serverless Stack favourably with another product I use, Supabase - which I also absolutely love, but which doesn't have the completely awesome option of posting for help in a Slack channel and which I therefore find myself way more frustrated with when I'm blocked.

Agree with all you just said, Louis. I hadn't heard of Supabase. Is that like Firebase but without the random deprecations?

It's a Firebase-esque service which uses only open source tools - gives you a Postgres database with REST API in front of it and makes life extremely easy getting set up with auth. Things like magic link log in ship out of the box. I highly recommend it. http://supabase.io/. I used this starter kit which was a dream for my use case, and could be adapted to fit a lot of use cases: https://github.com/vercel/nextjs-subscription-payments

Hey @Louis Barclay, thanks for the shout out! Yeah I think serverless is a perfect fit for most startups. Just need to be made easier.

Thanks @Louis Barclay!

Supabase + SST is my default too! I also put these tools in the same league of productivity. Super cheap and easy to get started, auth built into Postgrest. if my logic is simple, the client can talk directly to the supabase api. But if I need custom logic or do some real serious distributed work, SST makes queues, storage, and AWS super easy.
