Introduction
Overview
AWS Amplify provides a Git-based CI/CD workflow for building, deploying, and hosting single-page web applications or static sites with serverless backends. Upon connecting to a Git repository, Amplify determines the build settings for both the frontend framework and any serverless backend resources configured with the Amplify CLI, and automatically deploys updates with every code commit.
How it works
AWS Amplify is a complete solution that lets frontend web and mobile developers easily build, ship, and host full-stack applications on AWS, with the flexibility to leverage the breadth of AWS services as use cases evolve. No cloud expertise needed.
