SST Guide

This repo for guide.sst.dev, the SST Guide. If you are looking for the SST repo, head over here.

SST.dev is built with SST and deployed with Seed.

About the Guide

The guide is a comprehensive open source tutorial for building and deploying full-stack apps using Serverless and React on AWS.

We are going to create a note taking app from scratch using React.js, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Cognito.

Demo App

It is a single-page React app powered by a serverless CRUD API. We also cover how add user authentication and handle file uploads.

Project Goals

  • Provide a free comprehensive resource
  • Add more content to build on core concepts
  • Keep the content accurate and up to date
  • Help people resolve their issues

Getting Help

  • If you are running into issues with a specific chapter, join us on Discord.
  • Open a new issue if you've found a bug
  • If you've found a typo, edit the chapter and submit a pull request.

Generating the eBook

We use Pandoc to create the eBook. You can generate it locally by following these steps.

$ cd ~/Sites/sst.dev/etc/ebook
$ make start

This'll start a Docker instance. Inside the Docker run:

$ make epub

The above are run automatically through Github Actions in this repo:

  • When a new commit is pushed to master
  • And when a new tag is pushed, the generated eBook is uploaded to S3
