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

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

easy to setup, branches can get own url, availability is just there

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

easy to use and quick turn around time

only cname dns for customs domains, build servers are slower than expected, git sync sometime needs reauth

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

it is not up to speed with new technology and if the application logic is too complex, it is hard to manage
