First AWS Amplify Approach: teach math with a simple Web Application
During the past AWS Summit I attended an interesting session concerning AWS Amplify. It quickly convinced me to try this framework. A few days later I had the right opportunity: keep my son trained with the multiplication tables during summer. I decided to develop a simple web application with AWS Amplify in order to discover its strengths and weaknesses.
This is the GitHub repository hosting source code explained in this post and the deployed web application.
What’s Amplify?
AWS Amplify is a set of tools and services that allow a developer to build modern full stack applications using AWS cloud services. For example, having to create a React web application, Amplify allows us to manage the development and deployment of the frontend, backend services and the related CI/CD pipeline. For the same application it is possible to have multiple environments (for example dev, test, stage & production). Amplify also allows to integrate some AWS services very quickly into your frontend, writing very few lines of code: one example above all, authentication with AWS Cognito.
Great! There seems to be everything one-man-band developer needs to quickly build an application! Let’s try.
