Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from AWS Amplify
Is Anchorscape as powerful as AWS?
For 95% of SaaS apps, yes. We provide auto-scaling, databases, CDN, SSL, and security—everything most apps need. You get AWS-level infrastructure without the PhD in cloud architecture.
Can I migrate from AWS Amplify to Anchorscape?
Yes. Most Amplify apps can migrate in under an hour. We support the same languages and frameworks. The main difference: you'll never touch the AWS console again.
What about AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, etc.?
Anchorscape uses containers instead of Lambda (no cold starts) and Postgres instead of DynamoDB (standard SQL, no lock-in). If you need specific AWS services, you can still connect to them.
