David Onoh recently shared a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on deploying a WebAssembly port of an Uno Platform application to AWS Amplify. In this recap blog, we aim to highlight the key aspects of his tutorial and emphasize the benefits of using Uno Platform for web app development and the advantages of hosting these WebAssembly applications on AWS Amplify.

The process covers creating a .NET 7 Uno Platform project on a local machine using Visual Studio Code, hosting it on a GitLab repository, and configuring Amplify to publish the WebAssembly version with CI/CD tools. This tutorial is compatible with Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and macOS 13.0 “Ventura.”

Uno Platform offers several benefits for web app development:

Cross-platform compatibility: Develop applications that run natively on Windows, iOS, Android, WebAssembly, macOS, and Linux with a single codebase, saving time and resources.
Familiar development environment: Utilize existing C# and XAML knowledge to create powerful web applications without learning new languages or frameworks.
Open-source and community-driven: Leverage the continuously growing community of Uno Platform developers and extensive resources to help troubleshoot and enhance your projects.

Hosting Uno Platform WebAssembly applications on AWS Amplify provides additional advantages:

1. Scalability: AWS Amplify scales effortlessly to accommodate varying levels of traffic, ensuring your application performs optimally under all conditions.
2. Security: Benefit from AWS’s robust security measures, including data encryption and compliance with industry standards.
3. CI/CD integration: Streamline your development process with built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools, reducing time to market and ensuring the delivery of high-quality applications.
4. Cost-effective: Pay only for the resources you use, with no upfront costs or long-term commitments required.

In Summary

Uno Platform enables developers to create cross-platform web applications efficiently, while AWS Amplify provides a secure, scalable, and cost-effective hosting solution. By combining the power of Uno Platform WebAssembly and AWS Amplify, developers can streamline their web app development process and deliver high-quality applications to a wider audience.
