The development of web applications with the AWS Amplify platform

Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati hiter razvoj spletnih rešitev, od sloja trajnih podatkov do sloja uporabniškega vmesnika, kakor tudi pomen brez strežniških platform. Ena izmed možnih tehničnih rešitev je AWS Amplify. Slednji omogoča hitro izgradnjo spletnih in mobilnih aplikacij ter ponuja širok nabor programskih jezikov, ogrodij in platform (JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue in Next.Js). AWS Amplify omogoča tudi overjanje uporabnikov in shrambo podatkov. Tekom diplomske naloge je podrobneje predstavljen nabor orodij, ki jih ponuja AWS Amplify, ter njihova uporabnost. V namen demonstracije smo razvili spletno aplikacijo, ki uporabnikom omogoča hitro izbiro in prenos prosto dostopne glasbe. Za uporabo spletne aplikacije uporabnik plačuje mesečno naročnino. Aplikacija poleg tehnične inovativnosti demonstrira tudi vse pogosteje uporabljen poslovni model, ki temelji na naročninah. Za izgradnjo aplikacije smo iz prej omenjenega nabora orodij uporabili ustrezen nabor ponujenih programskih vmesnikov. Za spletni uporabniški vmesnik smo uporabili knjižnico React, ki jo domorodno ponuja platforma Amplify.The purpose of this thesis is to explore the rapid development of web solutions, from the layer of persistent data to the layer of user interface, and the importance of serverless frameworks in this. One of the possible technical solutions is AWS Amplify. It allows you to quickly build web and mobile applications and offers a wide range of programming languages, frameworks, and platforms (e.g. JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Next.Js). It also provides services such as user authentication and data storage. In this thesis, we thoroughly explored the AWS Amplify platform and reviewed its limitations and advantages. For the purpose of demonstration, we developed a web application that allows users to quickly select and download royalty-free music. The user pays a monthly subscription to use the web application. In addition to the technical innovation, our application also demonstrates the increasingly popular business model based on monthly subscriptions. To build the application, we used the appropriate set of offered software interfaces. For the user interface we used the React library, which is provided by the Amplify framework
