What create-faster adds

A ready-to-deploy SST Ion configuration with stack-aware resource mapping and TypeScript environment augmentation.

Files created:

sst.config.ts               # SST Ion configuration with per-app resources
sst-env.d.ts                # TypeScript augmentation for SST env variables

sst.config.ts

The configuration maps each app to the appropriate SST component based on its stack:

• Next.js apps use sst.aws.Nextjs with optimized OpenNext deployment
• Hono apps use sst.aws.Function with url: true, pointing to src/index.handler
• TanStack Start apps use sst.aws.Function with url: true, pointing to .output/server/index.handler

In a turborepo, each app's path or handler is prefixed with apps/{appName}/.

The config includes:

• Stage-aware removal policy: retain in production, remove in other stages
• AWS as the default provider
• URL outputs for each deployed app

sst-env.d.ts

Type augmentation file that enables typed access to SST-linked environment variables via import "sst".

.gitignore

The .sst/ directory is added to .gitignore.
