AWS Amplify and AnchorScape have different scopes.
AnchorScape is a reviewed-access managed hosting control plane; it is not a replacement for the full AWS service catalogue.
Choose by workload architecture, operational ownership and exit requirements—not a generic feature count.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from AWS Amplify
Is Anchorscape as powerful as AWS?
No. AWS is a broad cloud platform. AnchorScape offers a narrower managed workflow for supported application deployments and does not claim AWS feature parity.
Can I migrate from AWS Amplify to Anchorscape?
Migration depends on the application, identity services, data stores, queues, storage, DNS and AWS-specific dependencies. AnchorScape first discovers and plans; it does not promise a universal duration or automatic parity.
What about AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, etc.?
AWS-specific services must be recorded as external dependencies or replaced through a reviewed migration plan. AnchorScape does not silently translate Lambda, DynamoDB or other managed services.
