Your Talk

Title: Getting Started With Amplify For Web Developers

What your talk is about:

AWS offers a lot of services. Cognito, S3, Hosting, and Lambda functions to name a few. What if we could access those services without having to learn devops, infrastructure as code, and intricate IAM rules? So as front-end developers we can focus on the front-end.

Amplify has us covered! In this talk I'll discuss how to get started with Amplify, how it can be used by Front-end and mobile developers to use AWS services and some of the nice features it has. This will include:

• UI Components Library
• Authentication connected components
• Amplify Studio with our Figma to Code integration

How long will your talk be?

• [ ] 5-15 minutes (lightning talk)
• [x] 20-30 minutes
• [x] 30-45 minutes
• [ ] 60 minutes or more

Meta

I travel a lot for work, so if chosen I'd love to deliver this talk in late April or May. :)

Do you need help crafting your talk?

• [ ] Yes
• [x] No (But I could always use a set of eyes to look over the talk before I deliver it)
