Ion is a new engine for deploying SST apps. It uses Pulumi and Terraform, as opposed to CDK and CloudFormation. Read the full announcement here.

• 10x faster deploys
• Native multi-region support
• No more cyclical dependencies
• No stacks or stack resource limits
• No CDK or npm package conflicts
• Native support for non-AWS providers

Note: Ion is generally available and recommended for new SST users. We are working on a migration path for SST v2 users.
