Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is an object storage where users can store data from their business on a safe, cloud-based platform. Amazon S3 operates in 54 availability zones within 18 graphic regions and 1 local region.

AWS Cloudformation is the Infrastructure as Code solution provided by Amplify. We can define our cloud environment, meaning the resources and their dependencies, in so-called "CloudFormation templates". These templates are written in JSON or YAML. CloudFormation can take such a template and create a CloudFormation Stack, a set of related resources. For CloudFormation to find the template, it must be uploaded to S3.

Amazon Cognito

Amazon Cognito lets you add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web and mobile apps quickly and easily. It scales to millions of users and supports sign-in with social identity providers and enterprise identity providers via SAML 2.0.

When we talk about backend functionality, we mean AWS Cloud services that will be generated by the CLI and consumed by our frontend application. For example, adding the Amplify (REST) API category will make use of AWS API Gateway. Adding the Amplify Auth category will make use AWS Cognito. Here is a diagram that shows a deployment of a REST backend created with AWS Amplify:.
