Raise your hand if you think that AWS Amplify is only a tool for rapid prototyping. And now, join my session and let me convince you that AWS Amplify might have become more than that.

For years, I held the same belief. Amplify was my reliable companion for throw-away MVPs and proof-of-concepts, never quite making it to a production-ready application. That all changed when I started building promptz.dev and discovered the capabilities with Amplify Gen2.

In this session, you will learn about the foundations of AWS Amplify Gen2, its enhanced developer experience compared to AWS Amplify Gen1 and all my uncovered treasures that aren't prominently featured in tutorials or quick-start guides. Like, for example:
- How to use CDK to write custom Amplify modules that extend beyond the standard data and auth patterns.
- How to use GitHub Actions to bypass Amplify's built-in CI/CD.
- How to give you granular control over your AWS Appsync-based GraphQL API

If you go out of this session, I will ask you again if AWS Amplify is only a tool for rapid-prototyping or maybe more? I am curious how you decide.
