Improved daily delivery has streamlined workflows and saved time for developers and operations
Akuity Platform has most of the features, but I think they should include some more features, such as the feature where we specify the URLs of the Argo CD workflow, which I liked, but it would be good if they include more of those features on the platform. Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part.

Building full-stack apps has been streamlined and supports efficient authentication workflows
The best features AWS Amplify offers include AppSync, which is very good for authentication and the deployment version. It also allows me to easily use DynamoDB tables from AWS. The authentication and deployment features of AWS Amplify help me by ensuring that the authentication flow runs smoothly, as they are integrated and interconnected with GraphQL. I can delete or add users, create groups, reset passwords, and customize the login experience using the sign-in and sign-out features that come with GraphQL. AWS Amplify also has IO components, allowing me to configure files for AWS export to check if there are any builds or configurations missing. The ease of using AppSync and GraphQL is what I appreciate most about AWS Amplify. AWS Amplify is a strong tool for quickly building full-stack applications, which do require a solid understanding of how the underlying AWS services interact. AWS Amplify has positively impacted my work by making things easier, faster, and more efficient, particularly with its continuous integration feature and user management while monitoring app builds. The usage of AWS Amplify is part of my freelance work for different clients rather than directly within a single organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Akuity Platform has impacted my organization positively through ease of onboarding and ease of use; we do not have to rely on difficult trainings for new joiners."
"Akuity Platform has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the overall onboarding time from days to hours for thousands of applications, achieving secure, consistent GitOps at scale."
"Overall, Akuity Platform has impacted our organization positively as the DevOps team is quite happy because first, they do not have to manage their own Argo CD, and second, it is quite user-friendly for them as well as for the developers, saving time for us."
"In my opinion, the best features of Akuity Platform include the GitOps-first model that makes deployments predictable and auditable, a good UI for visualizing the application state versus the desired state, easy rollback and sync control during deployment, good compatibility with Kubernetes native tooling and manifests, and a strong open-source ecosystem with great documentation."
"The most valuable feature is user management, which includes authentication and authorization."
"The only tricky part I experienced was during the initial installation. I followed the documentation, but it wasn't working for some reason. I had to modify some local files in the CLI-generated folder to get it to work. I had to dig deep to find the issue, and it wasn't mentioned in the docs. So, some issues could be better highlighted in the AWS CLI documentation, which would help developers integrate other services more easily. AWS needs to improve its support."
"Together with Ionic and Amplify, a nice use case is when you want to generate the backend very fast, and you want to have a desktop application and mobile application."
"AWS Amplify has positively impacted my work by making things easier, faster, and more efficient, particularly with its continuous integration feature and user management while monitoring app builds."
"The link with Figma is very nice. You can create your design in Figma, and then you can import it into AWS Amplify and use it. You can link it to your data source and data bindings."
"I didn't host my application but have used their backend as a service. It was a complete package with authentication, AWS AppSync, DynamoDB, and GraphQL. AWS Amplify is great if you don't know backend development and don't want to struggle with other backend services like MongoDB. You don't have to worry about what backend language or database to use. If you're confused, enroll with AWS Amplify. I also recommend Google Firebase for similar purposes."
"AWS Amplify is stable and has good performance."
"One of the things I like best about AWS Amplify is its ease of use and strong integration with other AWS services, which enhances efficiency."
 

Cons

"From a perspective of support feedback, it is a bit slow, so I would like them to fix that and make it more seamless."
"Integration with Akuity Platform is quite good as they have integrations with almost all the related CI/CD products, but I think in terms of performance, they can improve upon that because sometimes it does get laggy, maybe due to high pressure, and anything can be the reason for that, but they can improve on the performance part."
"In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly."
"The documentation needs improvement, as it is not user-friendly and can be challenging for novices."
"AWS Amplify could improve in the deployment. It would be beneficial to have more methods, such as automation."
"AWS Amplify can be improved in some areas, particularly in providing more robust documentation and easier customization options."
"Its capability to handle big projects needs to be improved. If you generate a user interface in Figma and import everything where all components are in one directory, currently, it is complicated. It isn't able to cope with that. For small projects, it is not an issue, but if you have big projects and you want to use AWS Amplify, then it gets more difficult. That is the most important point for me. It should be improved to cope better with bigger projects."
"AWS can implement multiple web applications, and cross-platform applications, like iOS."
"I like AWS Amplify's documentation. It's comprehensive and includes many examples, so you don't need to ask for help much - you can refer to the docs. It's easy to use. I also appreciate the cost structure. You only pay for what you use. For example, if you use 100 GB, you're charged for that, but if you don't use it, you pay the maintenance cost."
"There are certain things about AWS Amplify that keep changing."
"I don't think there are major issues, but there is room for improvement in the UI/UX of AWS Amplify. The UI still needs to be more polished and user-friendly. It's currently a bit like drag-and-drop initially, but there should be more options to customize the UI based on our needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing depends on what your use case is and whether you're an existing AWS customer. It's a pay-as-you-go model, so not expensive."
"When you're just starting, it is free. You have to pay only when you reach a certain amount of usage. I'm still at the early stage. So, I don't have to pay a lot. At the moment, it is not too expensive for me. It is worth the money."
