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.
