## What it is
Amplication is an open-source platform that generates production-ready backend services (NestJS/Node.js, with .NET support) from data models, embedding organizational best practices via live templates and a service catalog. It provides Golden Path workflows for platform engineering teams to standardize API, data model, and DTO generation across microservices.

## Use cases
- generate backend services from data models
- create golden paths for platform engineering
- standardize microservice scaffolding across teams
- auto-generate REST and GraphQL APIs with DTOs
- bootstrap NestJS services with Prisma
- keep generated services up to date with package updates
- build an internal developer platform with a service catalog

## When to choose
- your platform engineering team wants standardized, consistent backend service scaffolding
- you need to generate NestJS/Node.js or .NET APIs from data models quickly
- you want to embed company best practices into reusable live templates
- you are reducing boilerplate and onboarding time for backend developers

## When to avoid
- you need a frontend or full-stack low-code app builder rather than backend services
- your stack is outside Node.js/NestJS or .NET
- you want fully hand-written, custom architecture with no generated code
- you need a lightweight CLI-only scaffolding tool rather than a platform
