Advanced workflows

Lambda triggers are useful for adding functionality during certain lifecycles of the user's journey. Associate a Lambda trigger with an auth scenario, S3 bucket, DynamoDB table, or Kinesis Stream managed through the Amplify CLI.

Learn how to quickly test and debug without pushing all changes in your Amplify project to the cloud. Use local mocking and testing for certain categories including API (AWS AppSync), Storage (Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3), and Functions (AWS Lambda).

Deploy containers to AWS. Serverless containers leverage AWS Fargate when building REST or GraphQL APIs in your account. Containers can be deployed via a single Dockerfile definition or by using a Docker Compose file, with a build and deployment pipeline created inside your AWS account.

Export your Amplify CLI-generated backends as a Cloud Development Kit (CDK) stack and incorporate it into existing CDK deployment pipelines. This capability allows frontend developers to build their app backend quickly and, each time it is ready to ship, hand it over to DevOps teams to deploy to production.

Several commands in the Amplify CLI support arguments which could potentially be used in your CI/CD flows.
