AWS Amplify
AWS Amplify (Gen 2) — A strong pick when you want a frontend-friendly full-stack workflow but know you will need the reach of AWS services, since it defines auth, data, storage, and functions in TypeScript and is built on AWS CDK.

Firebase
Firebase — Choose it first for consumer mobile apps that need excellent offline behavior and real-time sync, accepting its document-oriented Firestore model and deeper Google-platform lock-in.
