Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We mostly use AWS Amplify for web and mobile integration into JS based framework for code once run everywhere kind of architectures specially those which involve the need for faster data reflection in real time. Chats, Analytics, Graphs/ Charting, Notifications are some of the perfect areas to set this up alongside authentication especially when you plan on using some of other AWS products alongside.
Pros and Cons
  • UI and design of the AWS Amplify for easier setup
  • painless user flow for react, angular etc
  • easier setup using CLI with effective questions.
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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
Most Important Features
  • easy on boarding project setup using UI/ UX
  • Backed by AWS services like Dynamo DB, GraphQL etc
  • Better security using AMI roles
Return on Investment
  • saves time on righting backend interfaces
  • easier to setup with react/ react native
  • lambda functions can be used to extend functionality
Alternatives Considered
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.
