AWS Project–Building a React App with Amplify (Gen 1), Cognito, and CI/CD with GitHub | AWS Tutorial

In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a simple React app (a quiz app) using AWS Amplify Gen 1 and Cognito. We’ll also see how to set up continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) using GitHub. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a fully-functioning application you can share with the world, on a real-live Amplify URL. 🌟🌟 For Amplify Gen 2, check out this video: https://youtu.be/7-7ugqAxgxI 🌟🌟 GitHub repo for code and commands: https://github.com/tinytechnicaltutorials/amplify-cognito-quiz 🤓 For diagramming and checklists in this video, I used Eraser.io.
