AWS Amplify vs Blox: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS Amplify as "JavaScript Open Source Library with React, React Native Extensions". A JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. The library is a declarative interface across different categories of operations in order to make common tasks easier to add into your application. The default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources but is designed to be open and pluggable for usage with other cloud services that wish to provide an implementation or custom backends. On the other hand, Blox is detailed as "Open Source Tools for Amazon ECS". Blox is a collection of open source projects for container management and orchestration. Blox gives you more control over how your containerized applications run on Amazon ECS. It enables you to build schedulers and integrate third-party schedulers on top of ECS, while leveraging Amazon ECS to fully manage and scale your clusters.

AWS Amplify and Blox can be primarily classified as "AWS" tools.

AWS Amplify and Blox are both open source tools. AWS Amplify with 5.53K GitHub stars and 903 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Blox with 895 GitHub stars and 82 GitHub forks.
