Does The Job But You Might Outgrow It
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My company uses AWS Amplify to develop and deploy our complete SaaS product. When we started our product we had two major requirements and AWS Amplify helped solve both of them. Infrastructure as code and fully managed/serverless services. We are now able to deploy our solution to new regions in a matter of hours and have the flexibility to add custom services as we grow the product.
