- 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.
