Data modeling with GraphQL

The GraphQL Transform library allows you to deploy AWS AppSync GraphQL APIs with features like NoSQL databases, authentication, elasticsearch engines, lambda function resolvers, relationships, authorization, and more using GraphQL schema directives.

Multiple environments

Support for multiple environments. When you initialize a project with the CLI, you create an Amplify backend environment. Every Amplify backend environment is a container for the categories added to your project.

Infrastructure as code

The AWS Amplify CLI uses AWS CloudFormation and nested stacks. This allows you to add or modify configurations locally before you push them for execution in your account.

Local mocking

Amplify supports running a local server for mocking and testing your application before pushing to the cloud with certain categories, including API, Storage, Functions, and Hosting.
