Rapid Application Development with AWS Amplify

By: Adrian Leung

Overview of this book

AWS Amplify is a modern toolkit that includes a command line interface (CLI); libraries for JS, iOS, and Android programming; UI component libraries for frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js for web development, and React Native and Flutter for mobile development. You'll begin by learning how to build AWS Amplify solutions with React and React Native with TypeScript from scratch, along with integrating it with existing solutions. This book will show you the fastest way to build a production-ready minimum viable product (MVP) within days instead of years. You'll also discover how to increase development speed without compromising on quality by adopting behavior-driven development (BDD) and Cypress for end-to-end test automation, as well as the Amplify build pipeline (DevOps or CI/CD pipeline) to ensure optimal quality throughout continuous test automation and continuous delivery. As you advance, you'll work with React to determine how to build progressive web apps (PWAs) with Amplify and React Native for cross-platform mobile apps. In addition to this, you'll find out how to set up a custom domain name for your new website and set up the AWS Amplify Admin UI for managing the content of your app effectively. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to build a full-stack AWS Amplify solution all by yourself.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to set up domain names and subdomain names for your Amplify app through AWS Route 53 and third-party DNS providers. At this point, you may have realized that building a cloud-native app from scratch and making it production-ready is quite easy with AWS Amplify. We even covered the latest Admin UI as an add-on feature for our app. When your user base grows a certain amount, you can no longer handle all the support requests from users. You have to find more admins to maintain the content and users of the app for you. With AWS Amplify and the Amplify UI, you save hundreds of hours creating CMSes and user management systems for your app.

I hope you enjoy your AWS Amplify journey from here on out! You can try out other additional features from the Admin UI, such as prediction, chatbot, analytics, and more by following the appropriate instructions and adding them to your Amplify app.
