Reamplify
https://github.com/thomasrooney/reamplify
An Open Source CDK Community project which I find super interesting. It is doing cherry-picking from AWS Amplify UI and AWS CDK for deployment. I do that in my private projects as well for example https://github.com/senjuns/senjuns. I think the author could enhance/simplify its repo even more by using https://github.com/projen/projen for the project setup.
