Very good Congratulations
Congrats on the launch!
This looks amazing! Definitely one I'll be adding to Dev Pages, to help developers build amazing things 🚀
Congratulations y'all!
Much good my friend!👍
Woohoo
Very useful, I'm working with Amplify frequently so this will improve how I use Amplify and take advantage of the new features.
Wow, that's massive 👍
Nice one
Wow 🔥
I'm actually working on a post about Amplify myself right now. However, I'm moving off of it. Honestly, as cool as Amplify seems it does have some drawbacks. I used it for building and hosting my blog logarithmicspirals.com for over a year.
Here are the strengths I see:
Drawbacks:
For anyone looking at Amplify, I have to say check out Cloudflare Pages also. Cloudflare has quite a few services which compete with AWS.
As an aside, if one wants to stay on AWS, SST has some advantages over Amplify. There's more control and you can keep your code for multiple services in one repo like you can with Amplify.
Glad to see more work going into the service though. Perhaps I'll circle back in the future and give it another try 🙂.
Hi --
Thanks for sharing this feedback. I'm Matt on the Amplify product team. Any chance you could DM me to hop on a quick feedback call? I wanted to call a few things out:
1) We updated our default build image to support Node 18 plus other latest version back in February.
2-3) We have an on-going initiative to improve caching with CloudFront. This work will be completed in a few weeks and should address the points you brought up. Curious to hear about your architecture to understand page load time -- this is another big investment area where we have ongoing work.
Let me know if you'd be open to chat!

Hey @mauerbac, thanks for replying! Unfortunately, I don't think I have time for a feedback call, but I appreciate your call outs.
What would be a good place to keep an eye out for the caching updates?
No worries! yeah, i'd be curious to get your take on our caching update. Keep an eye on our Twitter, Blog or Discord . Should be in just a few weeks we announce them.
Thanks! I've enjoyed using Amplify overall, so I'm looking forward to these updates 🙂. I'll have to circle back and do some more in depth comparisons once the updates are available 👍.
It's really misleading to say "developing locally" when it actually requires spinning up an entire remote cloud environment. Developing locally means on the developer's machine, not developing with a remote cloud sandbox backend.
Ali , you definitely changed my life! I was searching for a tutorial on creating forms in amplify studio and deploying them on my first WebApp on the front-end. *Thanks for your YouTube video I did it ! *
Can I use Amplify to host server side rendered apps built with Angular?
Hey Wilson, you can build a framework adapter for hosting Angular SSR apps with Amplify -- it'll be more work than the ones there are already adapters for, but it's possible!
Cool
Good _
This looks new to me.
