How is this different than the Serverless framework?

Good question! This is meant to be a "zero-config" utility rather than a generic framework. Under the hood, Serverless UI uses the AWS CDK to build a CloudFormation template with a few assumptions built-in (eg. deploying a static UI, anything in /functions becomes an endpoint, etc).

As far as features go, it more closely aligns to Netlify, but with direct AWS integration.

Yeah, this is an excellent idea. The trouble with Netlify is that the moment you outgrow their walled garden you're destined to complect your architecture with other cloud services anyway. Might as well start off with a rich ecosystem like AWS to avoid this issue.
