AWS Amplify vs Netlify 2026: Which Should You Deploy With?

Netlify wins for frontend developers who want fast, zero-config deploys — connect a GitHub repo and you're live in minutes, with deploy previews on every PR automatically. AWS Amplify wins when you need deep AWS integration (Cognito, AppSync, DynamoDB) and want to manage your frontend and backend deployment from a single AWS-native platform. For most frontend-focused teams and Jamstack sites, Netlify's developer experience advantage is decisive. For AWS-native architectures and enterprise organizations with AWS contracts, Amplify's ecosystem integration justifies its added complexity.
