We performed a comparison between AWS Amplify and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of AWS Amplify is authentication."
"Typically, whenever we make changes and need to switch environments (e.g., dev to production), it's easy for our developers to maintain the state of each environment and make customizations as needed. They don't necessarily need to involve the cloud team for basic management."
"The link with Figma is very nice. You can create your design in Figma, and then you can import it into AWS Amplify and use it. You can link it to your data source and data bindings."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus."
"Its capability to handle big projects needs to be improved. If you generate a user interface in Figma and import everything where all components are in one directory, currently, it is complicated. It isn't able to cope with that. For small projects, it is not an issue, but if you have big projects and you want to use AWS Amplify, then it gets more difficult. That is the most important point for me. It should be improved to cope better with bigger projects."
"AWS can implement multiple web applications, and cross-platform applications, like iOS."
"AWS Amplify could improve in the deployment. It would be beneficial to have more methods, such as automation."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly."
