Model Development

AWS Amplify uses a role-based development model for building apps.

Three Roles

• Layout Designer — defines the data model and schema
• Assembler — connects UI to data sources
• Designer — creates UI components in Storybook

Benefits of Serverless

A Berkeley study showed that serverless architectures can reduce development time by 77% compared to traditional server management.

• No servers to manage
• Pay only for what you use
• Auto-scaling
• Built-in high availability
