08/06/2021, 9:47 PMI gotta say, as someone brand new to CDK (moving from Serverless Framework + old-school CloudFormation), I’m blown away. it’s been a little bit of a learning curve, but not bad. and the tooling is incredible.

08/06/2021, 9:49 PMthis is why I’m making the effort now to rebuild all of our stacks to be a single SST monorepo 👍 CDK is the future.

08/06/2021, 9:50 PMI am eagerly awaiting for ALB + AppMesh + ECS + Fargate wrappers. It’ll be life-changing.

08/06/2021, 9:54 PMYeah, being able to reference and share resources it’s amazing, this was so complicated with SLS.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:54 PMI’m planning how to move away from SLS right now, defining the plan for it.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:55 PMMostly worried about Production CF stacks that are already built with SLS.

08/06/2021, 9:55 PMI kinda didn’t wanna do this right now because we’re trying to launch v2 of our app. but once I deploy that, it’s impossible for us to take the stacks down since customers will be on it and we can’t have downtime

Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:55 PMMight need to delete them and deploy all from 0.

08/06/2021, 9:55 PMyeah, that’s what I’m doing (while we’re in beta)
a
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:55 PMYeah.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:56 PMI decided to do the new services with SST, we built a couple this week already.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:56 PMAnd meanwhile doing some tests to migrate old ones… the app started like 3 months ago, we don’t have too much,… that’s why I want to move away from SLS asap.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:56 PMOnce we are out of beta will be more complicated, haha.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:57 PMWe are actually partially out of beta 😂 .

08/06/2021, 9:57 PMnice, congrats 🙂

08/06/2021, 9:57 PMwhy not create new stacks and then perform DNS redirection of some kind?

Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:57 PMWill be interesting to know which other companies are using SST.. I mean, small companies/startups looks like.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:58 PM@Ashishkumar Pandey yeah that’s my plan at the moment.

08/06/2021, 9:58 PMgreat! route53's ALIAS records will be a great help.

Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:58 PMActually I was using API GW v1 for Beta of the app, and we also can change the domain mappings there, pretty interesting.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 9:59 PMYeah good call, definitely need to plan something like that.

Ashishkumar Pandey
08/06/2021, 9:59 PMOh! yes, I am enjoying IaC.

08/06/2021, 10:00 PMMost complicated part is setting up VPC / RDS / Elastic… and those services…. I mean those were legacy, done manually from AWS Console 🤦♂️
a
Ashishkumar Pandey
08/06/2021, 10:03 PMYeah, the console is a pain lol! 😂
a
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 10:03 PMYeah but lot of people still uses it 🤦♂️
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 10:03 PMI mean, I work on other project which uses AWS + k8s.. and they set everything manually on AWS Console.
Adrián Mouly
08/06/2021, 10:04 PMIt’s painful to see that after experiencing CDK… but well, there is a lot of sys-admin people still, they didnt convert their mindset to devops yet.

08/06/2021, 10:04 PMdamn! I can’t possibly imagine that. It’s atrocious.
