Serverless Stack

hey guys! hoping someone can help point me to the right guide to learn the fundamentals of SST
I’ve inherited a stack from another developer who built it on SST
my previous (limited) AWS IaC experience was with AWS SAM / CloudFormation
I’m loving CDK and your product seems like an amazing enhancement of CDK :pray:
but I feel like I need stronger fundamentals before continuing and I’m confused by which of the guides is the right place to start

Hi Jeff.  <https://serverless-stack.com/> is a great place to start, specifically <https://docs.serverless-stack.com/|the docs> and <https://serverless-stack.com/examples/index.html|examples in Github>

I think some key points to know about SST:
1.  The SST constructs (e.g. Table, API, Auth, etc) are thin wrappers around CDK constructs.  It is not an alternative to CDK, per-se, but higher level constructs around CDK primatives that make it easier to build common pieces of infrastructure
2. You can use CDK constructs directly within an SST app.  As a matter of fact, it's quite common to do so when you need functionality that SST does not natively support.

thanks for the initial pointers, yes I’ve seen from the codebase there is a mix of sst constructs and direct CDK as you mentioned
