What makes Wing a good fit for cloud development? 🌟
Wing was built from the ground up to make it an ideal choice for building applications on any cloud. It includes an assembly of different features that serve that purpose:
- Cloud services as first-class citizens, with phase modifiers for config or runtime (
preflightandinflight). - Higher level of cloud abstraction with a cloud library containing APIs that lets you write cloud portable code.
 - Custom platforms that keep you in control by allowing you to customize the infrastructure definitions and run policy checks.
 - Use any resource in the Terraform ecosystem as first-class citizen in your app.
 - JavaScript interoperability.
 - Distributed computing primitives.
 - Automatic generation of IAM policies and other cloud mechanics based on intent.
 - Local functional simulator with a visualization and interaction console - used for testing and debugging with instant hot-reloading.
 - Native JSON and schema validation support.
 - Default immutability.
 - Implicit async, explicit defer.
