We had a good experience of hosting dynamic websites on Amplify, earlier we were using s3 to host our static website but now we have moved to NextJS and Amplify has served us well.

CRITICAL

“Documentation Insufficient For Team Development Workflows Using Amplify In Enterprises”

2.0

Nov 30, 2025

Very confusing to develop an Amplify project in a team in a corporate environment. I do not think there is enough documentation on this. Adding and deploying infra/backend is super smooth, and hosting is straight forward also

Reviewer Insights for: AWS Amplify

AWS Amplify Likes & Dislikes

Since we are AWS heavy, Amplify's integration with other AWS services enables us to leverage them. Amplify has integration with gitlab CI/CD which enables us to have automated deployment. Amplify uses CloudFront as a CDN which improves website caches. Supports preview environments for pull requests. Rapid development with minimal AWS knowledge

Deploying backend infra is super easy process. Ability to add services to the project via Amplify CLI and connect with other services in the project is well done. Documentation for gen 1 and gen 2 is pretty good also

Built-in authentication & hosting- Quick setup for user authentication and scalable hosting without complex configurations. CI/CD integration - Automated builds and deployments directly from repositories. Frontend & backend integration- Easily connects frontend frameworks with AWS backend services like Auth, APIs and storage.

Debugging is not ideal for Amplify deployment jobs as errors in deployments are vague. vendor locked in, tightly coupled to AWS services. Amplify abstracts away a lot of infrastructure, which can be limiting when you need fine-grained control of AWS resources.

Faced constant network issues using AMPLIFY CLI in a corporate environment. Workflow when developing same project across teammates is tough, need more documentation here. AMPLIFY CLI errors are not detailed at all and are brutal to debug

There is nothing to dislike but still the cost visibility , tracking costs across integrated AWS services can be challenging for beginners.

Strong platform for rapidly building and deploying modern web applications on AWS

Jan 28, 2026

Overall, our experience with AWS Amplify has been positive. It enables faster development and deployment of frontend applications with minimal infrastructure management. The platform works well for cloud-native and serverless use cases, especially when combined with other AWS services, but with advanced customization and debugging can be challenging at times. AWS Amplify performs well in accelerating application delivery by providing built-in hosting for non-standard workflows, sometimes required deeper AWS knowledge and documentation for advanced scenarios could be improced
