Co-author here. We’re providing higher level components for easier IaC code and automate permission generation between those resources.

On top of that we also have a dev mode that lets you run your lambdas locally - while within the AWS infrastructure

What does that mean? Are they running locally or in AWS infrastructure?

Real lambda on AWS receives a request which is then forwarded to your local dev environment to handle it and return response which is then forwarded back to real lambda.

This way you can develop and test your code without constantly redeploying.

This sounds a lot like what SST does (which also uses Pulumi). Do you consider them a competitor?

I would guess by focusing on Python that you can provide a tighter experience than SST. Is that your plan?

Yeah, SST seems to be closest thing to Stelvio I guess.

I don't really think we're competitors, their focus is on JS/TS eco system. As you suggested Stelvio focuses on Python and aims to really nail down experience for deploying Python to AWS (and later potentially elsewhere). e.g. we resolve python dependencies for lambda functions and layers and package them for you etc.

In the long run we want Stelvio to be a go to tool for deploying Python (with some nice TUI and web console to make it all really smooth).
