恢复放大后端环境

Question

I've gotten an Amplify project dropped in my lap where the backend environment is deleted (or lost when the project were moved to another account).

I haven't worked with Amplify before, so I'm not sure how "automatic" everything is.

I noticed that the project has a folder called 'amplify-backup' which contain a bunch of json and graphql config files, so I assumed that I could use those somehow to restore the backend environment in AWS, but I can't seem to find any information on how to do so.

There's currently no backend environment in the AWS console and I don't really know which services the backend environment should contain. Is it possible to restore the backend environment and all the services that the application need or do I need to figure out which services are needed? If so, any pointers on how to find which services that are used?

Answer 1

If the project files still exist (amplify directory), you may be able to re-create the project with the existing resources.

One idea could be to clone the git repository from when the amplify project files were intact and run amplify init

OR

amplify-backup is generally generated automatically when doing commands with amplify. You could try rename to amplify and run amplify init .
