Where can I read more about how https://console.serverless-stack.com/ works? It seems like it's opening to the public (just by knowing the URL) some internal information about the projects I'm working on.

It works by using your local credentials and local dev server

Yeah we have a full write up on it coming soon.

Hey Pablo just to reiterate your data is never leaving your machine. That url serves a pure frontend application which searches for your sst cli running locally. If I go to that url I won't see your data - I'll only see my own

Which are the benefits of SST Console? Cant you just use AWS Console for the same thing?

At a bare minimum, SST knows your resources based on app + stage so we organize things in a way that is a lot easier to understand. You'll get nice names for resources and only see stuff scoped to a stage at a time. Beyond that we have functionality that AWS can't have especially for the local debugging experience. I recommend trying it out for your workflows, I've found it really useful

Nice, thank you.

Even I thought the same when we started working on console. Do we need other console when we have AWS console already? But gave it a shot found it very useful. 1. I don't need postman anymore to send basic requests to API 2. If I want to quickly check if some file exists or not in the S3, just open up the console and you can see it (even download!) 3. Modern UI, I live in a area with low bandwidth. AWS loads the entire page if I click on another menu (say, to go from S3 to Lambda). But the console just way more faster. Single click. 4. Console shows the only resources I'm using in the project 5. Some other things we're planning in future 😉

Good to know 🙂
