Da8a vs AWS Amplify
AWS Amplify helps you build apps on AWS services (such as Cognito, AppSync, DynamoDB, S3 and Lambda) in your own AWS account. Da8a gives you one Supabase-compatible backend on a dedicated server.
| Topic | Da8a | AWS Amplify |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | A dedicated server of your own, managed for you | Your AWS account, across several AWS services |
| Data | Postgres 16 with SQL, joins and pgvector | Commonly DynamoDB through an AppSync GraphQL API; other data sources can be connected |
| Auth | Built in: email, magic link, Google, GitHub, phone, SAML | Amazon Cognito |
| Files | Storage buckets with policies | Amazon S3 |
| Functions | Deno edge functions with secrets | AWS Lambda |
| Access control | Row Level Security policies in SQL | Authorization rules in your Amplify data model and IAM |
| Pricing model | A flat price per server | Pay-as-you-go for each AWS service used; see AWS pricing |
| Client | @supabase/supabase-js | Amplify libraries |
This page describes general differences, not every feature. AWS Amplify changes over time; check its own documentation for current details.

- You want one backend to understand rather than several services to wire together
- You want SQL and Postgres rather than DynamoDB
- You prefer a flat price per server to per-service usage bills
