Amazon Web Services at AWS Summit San Francisco announced the general availability of AWS Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment for creating web application user interfaces (UIs) that extends AWS Amplify so developers can create fully customizable web applications on AWS with minimal coding.
Today, customers like Amazon Music, Credit Genie, Neiman Marcus, Noom, Orangetheory Fitness, and State Auto use AWS Amplify to configure and deploy AWS services (e.g., database, compute, storage, etc.) to power their applications. AWS Amplify Studio extends the capabilities of AWS Amplify to provide a unified visual development environment for building feature-rich web applications on AWS – from provisioning the AWS services that power the application to creating dynamic UIs.
Developers can use AWS Amplify Studio to create a UI using a library of prebuilt components (e.g., buttons, newsfeeds, user registration forms, etc.), collaborate with user experience (UX) designers, and connect their UI to AWS services through a visual interface without writing any code. AWS Amplify Studio then converts the UI into JavaScript or TypeScript code, which saves developers from writing thousands of lines of code while allowing them to fully customize their web application design and behavior using familiar programming languages. There are no upfront fees or commitments to use AWS Amplify Studio, and customers only pay for the AWS services used to run their application. To get started with AWS Amplify Studio, visit aws.amazon.com/amplify/studio.
Most cloud-based web applications are broadly comprised of a UI that users engage with, business logic that defines how the web application works, and the backend cloud services that power a range of functions (e.g., user authentication, databases, object storage, etc.). Today, developers typically choose one of two paths for building a modern web application. They can write the application code themselves, which gives them precise control over the finished web application, but often takes weeks of time and effort, including provisioning the backend services, writing the business logic, and collaborating with UX designers on the UI.
Alternatively, developers can use low-code tools to build an application quickly. However, applications built with these tools are often less customizable and extensible because developers cannot write their own custom application code or must use proprietary frameworks and programming languages that are more restrictive than common programming languages like JavaScript and TypeScript. Instead, developers want a solution that combines the precision of writing the code themselves with the speed of a low-code tool to deliver innovative, new capabilities to their customers significantly faster.
AWS Amplify Studio allows developers to quickly build a web application on AWS with minimal coding while still empowering them to fully customize their application’s design and behavior using familiar programming languages. To get started, developers use AWS Amplify Studio’s visual development environment to provision the AWS services automatically (e.g., Amazon Cognito for authentication, Amazon DynamoDB for a database, Amazon S3 for storage, etc.) to power their application. Developers can then build their UI using AWS Amplify Studio’s library of pre-built UI components, incorporate data or capabilities from AWS services into their UI with just a few clicks, and collaborate with UX designers through integration with Figma (a popular tool used to design and prototype UIs) – all without writing any code. Once the UI is complete, AWS Amplify Studio automatically translates it into either JavaScript or TypeScript code. Hence, developers have the flexibility to completely customize their application’s design or behavior to deliver the best end-user experience. With AWS Amplify Studio, developers get the precision of writing their application code with the speed of a low-code tool to build feature-rich, fully customizable applications on AWS faster.
“Developers tell us that they want tools that help make them more productive when building on AWS without sacrificing the precision they need to deliver tailored experiences to their end-users,” said Ken Exner, Director of AWS Developer Tools. “With AWS Amplify Studio, we are extending the same fast, flexible backend development experience that customers love when using AWS Amplify to the UI creation process so that they can build feature-rich web applications with minimal coding. AWS Amplify Studio is a game-changer for any developer building web applications on AWS because it enables greater productivity without compromising control throughout the application development process.”

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).
