7 simple steps to your app on AWS Amplify Studio

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Amplify Studio is a visual interface that allows you to easily build and ship complete web and mobile apps in very short amount of time and effort. With Amplify Studio, you can quickly build an app backend, create a rich user interface (UI) React components, and connect a UI to the backend is a matter of minutes.

How to start fast?

To create an AWS Amplify Studio app and run it in the dev environment, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the AWS Amplify CLI by running the command npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli in your terminal.
2. Run the command amplify init to initialize the Amplify project. You will be prompted to enter information such as the project name and the environment you want to use.
3. Run the command amplify add codegen to add code generation to your project. This will allow you to generate a front-end for your app based on your backend configuration.
4. Run the command amplify push to create the backend resources for your app.
5. Run the command amplify codegen to generate a front-end for your app. You will be prompted to select the type of front-end you want to generate (e.g., React, Angular, etc.).
6. Run the command amplify serve to start the development server for your app. This will allow you to run the app in a local development environment.
7. Open your browser, and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to view the app running in the dev environment.

Note: Please make sure you have valid credentials configured on your machine to connect to AWS.
