+1 on this. wanted very much to like amplify but after using it for a few small projects, decided it was not worth the trouble. it abstracted too much and was too opinioated for what i wanted to do.

the one use case i do like it for is hosting simple static sites (eg. jekyll based sites).

that being said, i do like the amplify javascript sdk, especially the auth library and react components: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/api

best part is that you can use the components without using the amplify service/console
