Getting started with Amplify Hosting

To get started with Amplify Hosting, see the Getting started with deploying an app to Amplify Hosting tutorial. After completing the tutorial, you will know how to connect a web app in a Git repository (GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, or AWS CodeCommit) and deploy it to Amplify Hosting with continuous deployment.

Building a backend

AWS Amplify Gen 2 introduces a TypeScript-based, code-first developer experience for defining backends. To learn how to use Amplify Gen 2 to build and connect a backend to your app, see Build & connect backend in the Amplify docs.

To better understand Amplify Gen 2's code-first approach, see the Amplify Gen 2 Workshop on the AWS Workshop Studio website. In this comprehensive tutorial, you build a serverless application with React and Next.js and learn how to use Amplify Gen 2 Data and Auth libraries and the Amplify UI library to add functionality to the application.

If you are looking for the documentation for building backends for a Gen 1 app, using the CLI and Amplify Studio, see Build & connect backend in the Gen 1 Amplify docs.
