25. © 2018, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. AWS Amplify Console Build, deploy, and host cloud-powered modern web apps 1. Connect your repository 2. Configure build settings 3. Deploy your app Optional deployment of backend resources + fully managed front-end hosting
26. © 2018, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. AWS Amplify Console Your app is served via Amazon's reliable content delivery network with 144 points of presence globally. Set up custom domains managed in Amazon Route 53 with a single click, plus get a free HTTPS certificate. Connect your repository to 'git push' changes to your front end and backend in a single workflow. Work on new features without impacting production. Create branch deployments linked to each feature branch. All deployments either rollout successfully or fail without requiring maintenance windows. Share yet-to-be released features with internal stakeholders by setting a username and password.

SSGs perform faster than traditional websites. Deploy SSGs with free SSL on the AWS Amplify Console. Add dynamic functionality using GraphQL or REST APIs. Use the AWS Amplify Console to deploy your front end and backend in a single workflow. PWAs offer native app-like performance, work offline, support push notifications, and can be updated over the air. Use AWS Amplify to deploy PWAs to mobile devices.
