Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced the general availability of AWS Amplify Studio, its visual development platform specifically designed for web application creation. Initially available in preview mode, this game-changing solution empowers developers to create fully-customizable web applications using AWS while requiring minimal coding.
Ken Exner, Director of AWS Developer Tools, noted that developers are seeking productivity tools that don't compromise precision to deliver tailored user experiences. With the launch of AWS Amplify Studio, the company is now extending the same fast and flexible backend development experience provided by AWS Amplify to the UI creation process, allowing developers to build feature-rich web applications with minimal coding effort.
Prior to its general availability, AWS Amplify Studio introduced several improvements to its UI library, including the ability to define event-based actions, incorporating search, pagination, and filtering on collections, defining S3 storage bindings, and adding new UI components such as color pickers, maps, avatars, and file uploaders.
Developers can now use Amplify Studio to build user interfaces with pre-built components, access AWS data, and implement various AWS capabilities without writing any code. Additionally, Amplify Studio facilitates collaboration with UX designers through its integration with the widely-used Figma tool. Once the UI design is completed, developers have the option to convert it into either JavaScript or TypeScript to fully customize their application as desired.
Many AWS customers have already experienced success using Amplify Studio, including digital transformation consultancy firm CirrusHQ. John Walker, Head of Architecture at CirrusHQ, said that Amplify Studio allows them to construct rapid application prototypes, test hypotheses, iterate designs, and swiftly build and deploy web and mobile applications. The Studio's library of pre-built UI components boosts efficiency while requiring minimal design expertise, ultimately enabling them to deliver robust, feature-rich prototypes and complete applications in a fraction of the usual time.
AWS Amplify Studio joins other no-code and low-code platforms, such as AppMaster.io, which simplify application development for both web and mobile environments. These platforms, including AppMaster, enable enterprises and small businesses to develop scalable software solutions with server backends, websites, customer portals, and native mobile applications rapidly and cost-effectively. As a result, developers can create comprehensive, customizable applications without extensive coding knowledge, improving productivity and accelerating development cycles.
AWS Amplify Studio is now available in various regions, including US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Middle East (Bahrain), and South America (São Paulo).
