That AWS provides a set of management tools that allows us to programmatically provision, monitor and automate all components of our application's cloud environment, which makes life a lot easier for backend and devOps people, that's for sure. But if you think that AWS is simply a boon for backend and devOps developers, you are sadly mistaken.
In this short post, I will present some tools that are super useful and that will also make the lives of frontend and even mobile developers easier.
1. Amplify 🧪
AWS Amplify is everything you need to build web and mobile apps. Easy to start, easy to scale.
Benefits Amplify
No cloud expertise required.
Zero-config Next.js and Nuxt deployments offer global availability, reliability, and lower latency from the Amazon CloudFront Global Edge Network in just a few clicks.
Deploy server-side rendered and static frontend apps, develop UI, add features like auth and storage, connect to real-time data sources, and scale to millions of users.
2. AWS CodeCommit 🤖
AWS CodeCommit is a version control service hosted by Amazon Web Services that you can use to privately store and manage assets (such as documents, source code, and binary files) in the cloud.
Benefits CodeCommit
A fully managed service hosted by AWS.
Store your code securely. CodeCommit repositories are encrypted at rest as well as in transit.
Store anything, anytime. CodeCommit has no limit on the size of your repositories or on the file types you can store.

3. X-Ray 🛡️
AWS X-Ray is a service that collects data about requests that your application serves, and provides tools that you can use to view, filter, and gain insights into that data to identify issues and opportunities for optimization.
For any traced request to your application, you can see detailed information not only about the request and response, but also about calls that your application makes to downstream AWS resources, microservices, databases, and web APIs.
Benefits X-Ray
Easy Tracking. Trace user requests through your application while meeting your security and compliance objectives.
Removing Obstacles. Remove data silos and get the information you need to improve user experience and reduce downtime.
Save Time and Money. Debug serverless applications in real time, and monitor both cloud cost and performance metrics.

4. Device Farm 📱
Device Farm is an app testing service that you can use to test and interact with your Android, iOS, and web apps on real, physical phones and tablets that are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Benefits Device Farm
Use the same devices your customers use. Run tests and interact with a large selection of physical devices.
Reproduce and fix issues faster. Manually reproduce issues and run automated tests in parallel. We collect videos, logs, and performance data so you can dive deep and quickly solve problems.
Simulate real-world environments. Fine-tune your test environment by configuring location, language, network connection, application data, and installing prerequisite apps to simulate real-world customer conditions.
