Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of AWS Amplify is authentication."
"The link with Figma is very nice. You can create your design in Figma, and then you can import it into AWS Amplify and use it. You can link it to your data source and data bindings."
"Typically, whenever we make changes and need to switch environments (e.g., dev to production), it's easy for our developers to maintain the state of each environment and make customizations as needed. They don't necessarily need to involve the cloud team for basic management."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"The most valuable functionality of GitLab, for me, is the DevOps. Besides the normal source control based on Git, I find the Auto DevOps features most important in the solution."
"Everything is easy to configure and easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the automatic merging of code."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"AWS Amplify could improve in the deployment. It would be beneficial to have more methods, such as automation."
"Its capability to handle big projects needs to be improved. If you generate a user interface in Figma and import everything where all components are in one directory, currently, it is complicated. It isn't able to cope with that. For small projects, it is not an issue, but if you have big projects and you want to use AWS Amplify, then it gets more difficult. That is the most important point for me. It should be improved to cope better with bigger projects."
"AWS can implement multiple web applications, and cross-platform applications, like iOS."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
"There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
"The pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."

"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
