Amazon Honeycode is a fully managed low-code/no-code application development tool offered by AWS. We learned about this key value proposition in the previous chapter when we deployed our own to-do list application in less than 10 steps and tested it on both mobile and the web. With the power of AWS behind it, a simple to-do application barely scratches the surface, as the platform offers scalability, performance, security, and compliance, which we are accustomed to expecting from AWS.

This enables citizen developers to focus on their core ideas and convert them into real-world applications with ease. They can then share these ideas with their friends, family, or teams to test them out and iterate quickly without having to worry about the required technology infrastructure had they built and deployed a similar application natively. Alternatively, they might just want to get control of their data and, thereby, want to have a small application...
