aws-cdk.aws-amplify-alpha
The CDK Construct Library for AWS::Amplify
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use AWS CDK and need to manage Amplify hosting infrastructure as code. The low install friction and active maintenance are positive. However, accept that the experimental status means breaking changes may occur on upgrades—pin the version and review release notes before updating. Not suitable if you need API stability guarantees.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK >= 2.x and Python >= 3.10.
- Depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication packages.
- Low install friction with 4 runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
This package provides CDK constructs for defining AWS Amplify Console applications as infrastructure code. It lets you programmatically set up Git-connected fullstack serverless apps with support for GitHub, GitLab, and CodeCommit repositories, configure multiple branches with environment variables and performance settings, define custom routing rules and single-page application redirects, map custom domains with auto-subdomain registration, and add basic auth and custom response headers.
The package wraps Amplify Console's Git-based workflow into Python classes that integrate with the AWS CDK ecosystem. It depends on aws-cdk-lib for core CDK functionality, constructs for the component model, jsii for language bindings, and publication for metadata handling. The APIs are explicitly marked experimental and subject to breaking changes between releases, so production use requires acceptance of potential upgrade friction.
Use it for
- Define a fullstack serverless app with GitHub integration, multiple branches (main/dev/staging), and automatic branch preview deployments
- Set up custom domain routing with auto-generated subdomains for feature branches and pull request previews
- Configure single-page application rewrites and custom HTTP response headers for specific URL patterns in a monorepo
- Protect staging or development branches with basic authentication while keeping production public
- Automate branch creation and deletion for feature branches matching a naming pattern
