"Effortless App Building and Seamless AWS Integration"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Amplify?

What I like most about AWS Amplify is how easy it makes to build and manage a scalable application. For a fleet management–type system, it helped us quickly set up authentication, APIs, and real-time data sync with minimal effort. Integration with other AWS services is smooth, features are well-documented, and once implemented, it’s very convenient for frequent use and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Amplify?

The main drawback is the initial learning curve, especially when dealing with complex backend logic or custom requirements. Debugging issues can sometimes be tricky, and customer support or community answers are not always straightforward. Also, as features grow, managing configurations can feel a bit overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Amplify solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS Amplify solves the problem of quickly building and scaling a cloud-based application without spending too much time on backend setup and infrastructure management. For a system that handles real-time data, user authentication, and frequent updates, it simplifies API creation, data syncing, and hosting. This helps us focus more on core features and user experience, reduces development time, and makes the system more reliable and easier to maintain as usage grows.

"AWS Amplify - Great Backend Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Amplify?

- AWS Amplify is easy to use and implement, either through the CLI or their interfaces.

- It has become the most common tool that we frequently use due to it being easy to integrate with various frontend frameworks either for mobile/web based builds.

- It comes with a lot of features like choosing an API and generating queries and structure for it (you can have a GraphQL build straight from the boilerplate).

- Customer support is readily available to help with any implementation issues, any version changes etc...

- You don't waste time building out authentication and secure token management, which also helps with CI/CD and hosting as it comes bundled together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Amplify?

- Some of their documentation isn't clear when it comes to set up and versions

a. They do not specify which GraphQL version comes with Amplify V5/V6

b. They do not clearly state whether sandboxes are billed or not.

- It's difficult to customise (e.g user pools) a lot of the Amplify functionality that's under the hood.

- It's hard to predict the costs due to the Amplify under the hood using a lot of different resources you would have known if you did it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Framework for Full-Stack Development"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Amplify?

What we appreciate most about AWS Amplify is its ability to serve as a comprehensive toolkit that significantly accelerates the development of full-stack web and mobile applications. It effectively bridges the gap between front-end development and back-end cloud infrastructure, allowing our development teams to operate with greater autonomy and speed. The framework is particularly powerful for developers familiar with front-end technologies like TypeScript, as it uses this familiar language to define and provision complex cloud resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Amplify?

When a problem arises within the underlying infrastructure that Amplify manages, debugging can become a process of navigating through auto-generated AWS CloudFormation templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Amplify solving and how is that benefiting you?

By adopting Amplify, we have empowered our front-end team to build and deploy full-stack features with much greater independence. The benefits have been tangible:

• Increased Development Velocity: The ability to define data models, business logic, and authentication rules directly in TypeScript and have Amplify automatically provision the corresponding cloud resources has dramatically shortened our development timelines. We can now move from an idea to a fully functional, cloud-connected feature in a fraction of the time it used to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
