AWS re:Invent 2017: Analytics, Authentication and Data with JavaScript: AWS Amplify (MBL403)

Published on Nov 30, 2017

JavaScript based applications across mobile and web can be challenging to integrate with AWS services for teams that aren’t familiar with infrastructure operations. AWS Mobile has just launched a comprehensive open-source library, AWS Amplify, and tooling to help frontend and mobile developer quickly add features to their applications using a declarative programming style organized by categories of Authentication, Storage, APIs and Analytics. You’ll see how Serverless infrastructure for mobile and web applications can not only be launched in a couple of commands, but you can use the new tooling to iteratively add features and code to applications that under the covers interface with Amazon Cognito, Amazon S3, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Pinpoint. You’ll also see some framework specific techniques such as leveraging Higher Order Components (HOCs) in a React or React Native application as well as other best practices and utilities that AWS Mobile has released.
