Adventures with Amplify

Sam and Ryan talk about Ryan's recent experience using Amplify on a side project. They chat about the tradeoffs between using services and writing your own backend code, and how backend services let you do more at the cost of not understanding as much about how the system works. Topics include: 9:10 – Why Gatsby's content mesh is so good 23:00 – How much of your backend is your product 35:00 – Auth in Amplify 44:00 – Using Mirage with an Amplify app 56:00 – Firebase/Amplify/Hasura comparison Links: Ryan's Amplify tweet
