We estimated that to build and troubleshoot the solution on their own would have taken a full week of dedicated engineering and developer time. In contrast, by using the Amplify CLI and the video plugin code repository, we transcoded the video, generated signed urls, and deployed it to our development environment and then into production – all within an hour. We didn’t require any changes to our native iOS/Android code, we simply replaced the backend and Amplify did the work. Our team was able to solve for this complex challenge to keep our customers motivated and working out. We were very pleased to have found AWS Amplify and Amplify Video."Pedro González, Enterprise Solutions Architect - Orangetheory Fitness Read the blog »

Having been at PayPal previously, Kates feels confident using Amplify because Dynamo DB and S3 are backed by AWS Key Management Service (KMS) which is backed by AWS CloudHSM (HSM) that have been validated under FIPS 140-2. Kates states “We’re able to use these services because they’re FIPS compliant so the financial information is encrypted at rest and in transit with Amplify’s SSL management. You would normally have a team of multiple infosec engineers managing these security concerns alone.”Alex Kates, Software Architect – Credit Genie Read the blog »
