Local-first, built on the AWS CDK

Run your whole app locally with no AWS account, then deploy the same code to AWS with the AWS CDK.

Isar does not support Gradle 8, which is a requirement for Amplify Flutter Android, but there is a fork that resolves this. Drift is used with the Amplify Flutter packages, which can result in restrictions for what Drift versions you can use.
