Hi Nader,

I am a big fan of AWS Amplify but I have two remarks/questions :

  1. Is there a way to clone an AWS Amplify back-end (even partially) to test any changes ?
  2. Is it possible to anonymize datas on DynamoDB for security compliance ?

Hey, sure I'd be happy to help:

  1. Yes, you can clone any amplify back end by copying the Amplify folder and running amplify init. Be sure to remove the team-provider-info.json if working from a different account

  2. Yes, this is more of a DynamoDB feature. Check out here for the launch announcement and here for the docs.

For the first question, ok for cloning the back-end with amplify-cli but I would like to clone datas too. To see the impact on datas after the structure change.
Thanks.
