Angular (6) SSR doesn’t appear to be a path to AMP just yet
Took advantage of NX/ monorepo to break a marketing website up into admin and public versions. On the public version, I’ve been able to use JSON-LD/ schemas + SSR + meta markup to substantially improve SEO and social sharing.
Was hoping this would also be a path to getting to try to create an AMP version of the site as a separate app, pulling from ngrx and other things in a shared library (with different index.html page and markup). However, it appears that AMP markup, even after you have a SSR site, requires the elimination of angular default tags like app-root, app-container, router-outlet, routerlink, etc as well as a bunch of the script tags at the bottom of the page.
You can play with a version that deploys to heroku here(fork of the angular-universal-starter-heroku) https://github.com/goelinsights/universal-starter-amp-heroku
