Amplify enables you to easily build scalable applications that require real-time updates, local data access for offline scenarios, and data synchronization with customizable conflict resolution when devices are back online. Powered by AWS AppSync and Amazon API Gateway.

Learn more

Add a Lambda function to your project which you can use alongside a REST API or as a datasource in your GraphQL API using the @function directive in the Amplify CLI. You can update the Lambda execution role policies for your function to access other resources generated and maintained by the CLI, using the CLI. Amplify CLI enables you to create, test and deploy Lambda functions across various runtimes and once a runtime is selected, you can select a function template for the runtime to help bootstrap your Lambda function.

Add location-aware features like maps and location search to your JavaScript-based web app in minutes. Amplify Geo includes pre-integrated map UI components (based on the popular MapLibre open-source library) and it updates the Amplify Command Line Interface (CLI) tool with support for provisioning all required cloud location services. You can customize embedded maps to match your app’s theme, or choose from many community-developed MapLibre plugins for more flexibility and advanced visualization options. Powered by Amazon Location Service.

Use the Amplify console or CLI to host static web applications. 

AWS Amplify offers a fully managed service for deploying and hosting fullstack web applications, with built-in CI/CD workflows that accelerate your application release cycle. A fullstack serverless app consists of a backend built with cloud resources such as GraphQL or REST APIs, file and data storage, and a frontend built with single page application frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue, or Gatsby. Simply connect your application's code repository in the Amplify console, and changes to your frontend and backend are deployed in a single workflow on every code commit.

Use Amplify Studio to manage app users and content. 

Amplify Studio offers a way to manage authenticated users. Create/edit users and groups, update user properties, auto-verify signups, and more, without going through verification flows.

Learn more

Developers can give content editors and testers access to update the app data via Amplify Studio. Admins can save content as markdown to render rich text.

Learn more

Modify fine-grained backend resource settings and override via CDK. Amplify does the heavy lifting for you. For example, use Amplify to add new Cognito resources with default settings to your backend. Override just the settings you want with amplify override auth.

Learn more

The Amplify CLI provides escape hatches to add custom AWS resources with CDK or CloudFormation. Running the “amplify add custom” command in your Amplify project provides CDK or CloudFormation placeholders along with mechanisms to reference other Amplify-generated resources.

Learn more

Amplify is built on top of Infrastructure-as-Code that deploys resources within your account. Add business logic to your backend using Amplify's Function and Container support. Grant functions access to an SNS topic to send an SMS or allow your container to access an existing database.

Learn more

Integrate your existing resources, such as your Amazon Cognito user pool and federated identities (identity pool), or Storage resources like DynamoDB + S3, into an Amplify project via Amplify Studio. This will enable your API (GraphQL), Storage (S3), and other resources to leverage your existing authentication mechanism.

Learn more

Use Command Hooks to run custom scripts before, during, and after Amplify CLI commands (“amplify push”, “amplify api gql-compile”, and more). Customers can trigger validation checks, run credential scans, or clean-up build artifacts during deployment. This allows you to extend Amplify’s best-practice defaults to meet your organization’s security guidelines and operational requirements.

Learn more

You can use Amplify with your existing DevOps guidelines and tools to enforce deployment policies or to integrate into your in-house deployment systems. Amplify’s export feature lets you export your Amplify project to your preferred tooling, using CDK. “amplify export” exports the Amplify CLI build artifacts (including CloudFormation templates, API resolver code, and client-side code generation).
