Unexpected usage of Free Tier (Amazon Simple Storage Service)
Hello. I see in my Free Tier table (Billing) usage of Free Tier of Amazon Simple Storage Service, but I didn't use this much so how it can reach to this much request. Can you explain to me where these usages come from? And how to stop these usages?

Hi @chintanonweb. Thanks for sharing your repo. However, it's hard to tell if that is related to Amplify from the information shared so far. I don't see a storage resource in your project's amplify folder so that rules out any accidental writes or reads to S3 from the app. It seems that even simply navigating the S3 console can result in usage of the free tier as S3 charges for the number of APIs executed.

I would recommend filing a support case with Billing. All AWS account owners have access to account and billing support free of charge.

Hey! If the question is how to set secrets for local development, you would set them in your sandbox then use that sandbox in development - docs.amplify.aws/react/deploy-and-...

I wanted to test the Geo Feature but i got stuck really bad on this issue. Btw here is my repo link : github.com/AdityaGupta20871/Yogify.

Hi, Could you please provide guidance or instructions on how participants can access the AWS Free Tier specifically for this challenge? Any information or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance, and I'm looking forward to participating in the challenge!

Amplify Gen 2's backend building capabilities are built with TypeScript, but for your app's frontend you could use your JS or mobile framework of choice!

You can only use TypeScript I guess. Amplify Gen 2 is built around it.

Hey @maludecks! Jess from DEV here. We do not require you to add a license to your code that enables others to use it, but your code does need to be open so that we can see what you built. You'll see a section in the submission template that asks for the code.

A mobile app also works as long as you use Amplify Gen 2 for your app backend!
