## Overview
<a name="overview"></a>

In this tutorial, you will learn how to deploy a web application with AWS Amplify. Amplify offers a Git-based CI/CD workflow for building, deploying, and hosting single-page web applications or static sites with serverless backends. With fullstack TypeScript capabilities, Amplify brings the power and breadth of AWS services to a familiar frontend developer experience. Simply author app requirements like data models, business logic, and auth rules in TypeScript. Amplify automatically configures the correct cloud resources and deploys them to per-developer cloud sandbox environments for fast, local iteration.
