Extend your Amplify Gen 2 app with AWS Blocks — self-contained backend capabilities you compose into your existing backend.

Composable backend capabilities

Add the Blocks you need — PostgreSQL databases, realtime messaging, metrics, logging, and more — alongside your existing Amplify resources.

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.
