AWS Amplify

Build full-stack web & mobile apps on AWS

freemiumupdated Apr 21, 2026

AWS's TypeScript-based full-stack platform for building and deploying web and mobile applications. AWS Amplify Gen 2 lets developers define backend resources — data, auth, storage, serverless functions — entirely in TypeScript, then auto-provisions AWS resources via CDK. Includes per-developer sandboxes, fullstack branch deployments, real-time data sync, offline support, and seamless Bedrock/Redis integration.

AWS Amplify is a comprehensive development platform from Amazon Web Services for building and deploying full-stack web and mobile applications. It provides a TypeScript-based, code-first developer experience for defining backend resources including data models, authentication, storage, and serverless functions. Amplify Gen 2 allows developers to write their entire backend configuration in TypeScript, and the platform automatically provisions the corresponding AWS cloud resources.

The platform features built-in CI/CD workflows with automatic deployment on every Git push, per-developer sandbox environments for rapid iteration, and fullstack branch deployments that create isolated environments for feature branches. Amplify is built on top of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), enabling seamless integration with any AWS service including Redis, Fargate containers, Bedrock AI models, and custom security rules. The framework supports real-time data synchronization, offline capabilities, and multi-tenant architectures.

AWS Amplify targets frontend and full-stack developers who want to leverage the power of AWS without needing deep cloud expertise. It provides first-class support for React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, Flutter, and React Native, making it a versatile choice for both web and mobile development. The platform is particularly suited for teams already invested in the AWS ecosystem, offering fine-grained access controls, analytics, and the ability to extend beyond Amplify defaults using native AWS CDK constructs.
