What is AWS Amplify?
AWS Amplify is a robust toolkit created to make full-stack online and mobile application development and deployment on AWS more efficient. It provides an extensive feature set that streamlines routine activities so developers can concentrate on creating outstanding user experiences.
Everything you need to create web and mobile applications is included with AWS Amplify. Both starting and scaling are simple.
From concept to app in a matter of hours
Create user interfaces, implement server-side rendered and static frontend applications, integrate real-time data sources, add features like storage and authentication, and grow to millions of users. It is not necessary to have experience with cloud computing.
Install web frameworks all around the world
Install an application frontend that supports any server-side web framework and has simple Git-based workflows. With just a few clicks, zero-config Next.js and Nuxt installations via the Amazon CloudFront worldwide Edge Network provide worldwide availability, dependability, and reduced latency. Adding new features to popular web applications is easy with fully managed CI/CD and automatic scaling.
Quickly transition from frontend to fullstack
Amplify’s fullstack TypeScript features enable frontend developers to enjoy the familiarity and power of AWS services. Just write TypeScript code for the app’s requirements, such as data models, business logic, and auth rules. For quick, local iteration, Amplify automatically sets up the appropriate cloud resources and deploys them to per-developer cloud sandbox environments.
Be dedicated, work together, and ship with assurance
Connecting branches from Git makes it simple to start up new environments. Pull request previews provide team members the confidence to test changes before integrating them into production. Fullstack branching controlled CI/CD pipelines require no configuration at deployment.
What can we build with Amplify?
Web applications for SSR
Use Next.js and Nuxt to deploy and host server-side rendered applications for better SEO and performance. Use Amplify’s JavaScript library to implement middleware-protected authentication for routes and server-side actions with data.
Static webpages and single-page web applications
Use automated CI/CD to deploy your app’s frontend to hundreds of edge locations throughout the globally dispersed AWS Content Delivery Network (CDN). Incorporate data, storage, permission, and authentication into full-stack logic.
Applications for native mobile devices
Use Amplify’s frontend libraries and backend provisioning to create native iOS and Android apps in Swift, Kotlin, or Java that include data, storage, authentication, and push notifications.
Applications that run on several platforms
Using Amplify’s libraries and backend resources, create cross-platform Flutter and React Native applications with features like user authentication, data, and storage.
How Amplify is being used by its clients
- Abit Agritech Uses AWS Amplify to Create a Minimum Viable Product in Six Months
- Mediality Uses Automation to Provide Racing Data on AWS More Rapidly
- Mediality Racing developed a serverless, cloud-native data framework with AWS Amplify and AWS Lambda in collaboration with AWS Partner Cevo to transition from outdated Microsoft Windows workloads.
- Amazon Music creates apps that can be expanded for millions of users.
- Millions of users can sync their music playlists and access them offline from their web and mobile apps thanks to the worldwide streaming music platform’s adoption of AWS Amplify and AWS AppSync. Using AWS, they developed a cloud-queuing system that manages over 70,000 transactions per second and synchronizes local and cloud music queues. In order to promote continuous service innovation and enable a smooth user experience across devices, the music streaming service sought to consolidate its disparate, device-specific music-queuing systems under a single, centralized solution. It created a solution that builds on AWS and uses AWS AppSync and AWS Amplify to store, sync, and present its carefully curated user experiences. Amazon Music now has a scalable solution that minimizes the maintenance burden on its personnel while also supporting product development through its technical capabilities.
