AWS Amplify

Amplify leverages the AWS Cloud to power your applications, so you get access to a far broader selection of services along with much deeper functionality within most of these services than other mobile development platforms. There is no need to graduate to a fully production-ready platform when your application gets big because Amplify will scale with you and your business. With Amplify, you can build on-demand, live applications that can handle millions of requests per second over hundreds of terabytes of data with microsecond latency across the globe.

Amplify gives you an end to end solution for building and operating Android and iOS mobile applications natively as well as through React Native and React, Ionic, Angular, Javascript, and Vue web applications. It provides everything you need for version control, automated code testing, and production application deployments. For progressive web applications, Amplify is the only platform to give you a complete development workflow for both your frontend and backend.

Amplify makes data access seamless, without the complexities of setting up multiple database technologies. You can easily integrate with existing data sources such as different relational and non-relational databases. Amplify allows you to use GraphQL to simplify how you manage data while other platforms don’t. With GraphQL, you can build faster and more interactive mobile applications because you can query and retrieve multiple pieces of information across different sources in a single network request. This saves both CPU and battery lives consumed by the application.

Amplify provides an on-device data store with built-in synchronization to your backend data store. All other platforms only provide an on-device cache. While a device is offline, your application can query and write data locally using Amplify. Once the device reconnects back online, Amplify will automatically synchronizes your local data store with the backend data store and resolve any conflicts. With Amplify, you can build reliable mobile applications that can withstand network disruptions as well as real-time collaborative applications that span devices.

Amplify allows you to execute server-side code for your business logic without the need to manage servers. You pay only for the resources you use to optimize cost savings, and there is no need to maintain servers, upgrades, or backups, and your applications have automated high availability.

Amplify gives you far greater security controls for your application than other platforms. With Amplify, you have the power to set granular access controls for every user of your application. You can easily set up federated authentication from Amazon, Facebook, and Google, and you can also control the exact piece of data that is authorized to each user.
