You should go for using it in particular if you are going to be build code once run everywhere kind of things and you want to not write most of the backend on your own. As AWS Amplify can take care of a lot of backend things for you and you can manage most of the stuff from front end coding. perfect for using in react/ flutter apps. Additionally better to use when you are going to use other AWS service and don't want to scatter things around

I feel it is best suited for internal apps (and they advertise it as such). If you have data in Gsheet then this makes one of the best choice to build your internal apps. Costing wise also I feel they offer generous free tier and then you can scale as per need. One thing I would like to see is more pre-built UI elements (modern looking)

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • AWS Amplify init ends up changing the cloud. there should be deploy kind of thing
  • confusions between Front end backend as both codes get mixed. this should be kept separate
  • better documentation with use cases

Its AWS take on the Firebase kind of system for providing backend as a service. Although Firebase has advantage of bigger community, better documentation and code examples; AWS Amplify is creating its own space where you will be going to use AWS products and Infrastructure in your project. Amplify Dynamo DB and GraphQL have clear cut advantages that have no direct alternative in Firebase as real time db and firestore documents both lack versioning.
