AWS Amplify is a set of managed tools, libraries, and services that assist in developing modern applications and deploying them in the cloud. AWS Amplify enables developers to quickly and easily create, configure, and deploy scalable mobile applications powered by AWS.

AWS Amplify automates the deployment and management of application backends and provides a simple framework for easily integrating the backend with frontend interfaces for iOS, Android, Web, and React Native. AWS Amplify also automates the application release process for both the frontend and backend, enabling faster delivery of features.

Mobile applications require cloud services for actions that cannot be performed directly on the device, such as offline data synchronization, storage, or data sharing among multiple users. Often, multiple services must be configured, deployed, and managed to power the backend. Each of these services must also be integrated into the application by writing several lines of code. However, as the number of application features grows, the code and release process become more complex and time-consuming to manage the backend.

AWS Amplify handles the implementation and management of backends for mobile applications. Developers only need to select the necessary capabilities, such as authentication, analytics, or offline synchronization, and Amplify will automatically handle the deployment and management of the AWS service supporting each capability. These capabilities can then be integrated into the application through Amplify’s libraries and user interface components.
