I started using it around v0.3 and quite a bit has happened with aws-amplify since then. After migrating an IoT cloud from a competitor to AWS IoT, our team decided to leverage AWS Cognito (user identities) and Amplify really saved some time for us in this regard. User identities, JWTs and signing requests to lambda endpoint worked, for the most part. There are some struggles with ill-documented issues or just flat-out wrong Typescript definitions, but for the most part, I probably would have made the same decision again being that our platform is "all in" on AWS. I doubt I would use it if AWS Cognito was not in the mix.
