Getting started

AWS Amplify Studio is a visual development environment for building fullstack web and mobile apps. To learn more, see the Amplify Studio introduction.

Amplify Studio is available in the following regions: Amplify Studio service endpoints.

We recommend operating Amplify workloads in dedicated accounts so IAM principals not working with Amplify do not manipulate provisioned resources out-of-band.

Quick start guide

To use all of Amplify Studio's functionality, you will need an AWS account. You can take advantage of the AWS Free Tier to get started with no cost.

Create an AWS Account

If you already have an AWS account, you can begin using all of Amplify Studio's features. Log in to the AWS console, and click the button below to create a new project in Amplify Studio.

Create New Project

Next, follow these steps to deploy and launch Amplify Studio:

Enter a name for your app and choose Confirm deployment.
After your app deployment is complete, select the Backend environments tab.
Select Launch Studio. This automatically launches Amplify Studio in a new tab.

Logging in and creating an app

Log in to the Amplify Console

The Amplify Console is where you build, manage, and host your Amplify applications. To log in, take the following steps:
