Amplication

Amplication is an open-source backend development platform that generates production-ready microservices — REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, data models, DTOs, and supporting infrastructure code — from a domain model, embedding organizational best practices and standards so teams avoid repetitive backend coding. The project is TypeScript-based, distributed as @amplication npm packages and an `amp` CLI, and remains actively maintained on GitHub (16k+ stars, v3.15.0). Originally offered a hosted product at app.amplication.com; the hosted service and docs subdomain have since been retired and the amplication.com root now redirects to overcut.ai (the founders' agentic-SDLC venture), while the open-source project, npm packages, and Discord community continue.

Amplication is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Backend, Code Generation, Developer Tools, and Open Source.

Amplication’s developer surface includes CLI, changelog, documentation, support, and 5 more developer resources.
