Astro on AWS Amplify
AWS Amplify documents a generic path that covers Astro, rather than a dedicated guide.
Content-focused framework that ships zero JavaScript by default and renders components from several UI libraries.
What Astro needs.
Every host claims to run Astro, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things Astro actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what AWS Amplify publishes about each. AWS Amplify documents 4 of the 4.
Build allowance
1,000 build minutes per month at no cost with AWS Free Tier; $0.01 per minute for a Standard Instance thereafter
Astro prerenders by default, so most of the work happens at build time and the build allowance is the real constraint.

“Build and deploy Standard Instance (8 GB Memory; 4 vCPUs) No cost up to 1,000 build minutes per month $0.01 per minute Large Instance (16 GB Memory; 8 vCPUs) n/a $0.025 per minute”

Concurrent builds
5 concurrent jobs per Region by default, adjustable via a quota increase request
A content site rebuilds on every edit. One build slot turns a busy publishing day into a queue.

- Amplify Hosting service quotas ↗
“| Concurrent jobs | Each supported Region: 5 | Yes | The maximum number of concurrent jobs that you can create in this account in the current Region. | [...] New AWS accounts have reduced apps and concurrent jobs quotas. AWS raises these quotas automatically based on your usage.”

Edge network
Supported
A prerendered Astro site is a directory of static files. After that, the only thing left that affects speed is where they are served from.

Git deployment
Supported
Astro's usual workflow is a push that triggers a build. Anything else means wiring the build yourself.

What AWS Amplify documents.
AWS Amplify documents a generic path that covers Astro, rather than a dedicated guide.
You can deploy an Astro.js application to Amplify using a community adapter. We do not maintain an Amplify owned adapter for the Astro framework. Limited: support is documented only via a third-party community adapter that AWS links to but does not maintain.

Astro features on AWS Amplify
Capabilities AWS Amplify documents specifically for Astro, with the constraint it documents alongside each.
ssr_adapter
Limited
To deploy an Astro site with SSR to Amplify Hosting, you must add an adapter to your application. We do not maintain an Amplify owned adapter for the Astro framework. This tutorial uses the astro-aws-amplify adapter that was created by a member of the community.

What it costs to run there.
- Entry paid plan
- No monthly minimum — Amplify Hosting is billed per unit. A representative month for one small app, priced at Amplify's published rates: 100 build minutes ($1.00), 5 GB stored ($0.11), 100 GB served ($15.00), with SSR requests inside the free 500,000 — about $16.11. Our arithmetic on Amplify's rates, not a price Amplify quotes, and it moves with traffic: egress is 93% of it. Recorded without a magnitude for that reason.
- Pricing model
- Usage-based; pay for what you use, with no monthly minimum
- When you exceed a cap
- Billed automatically: pay-as-you-go with no monthly minimums; storage charges keep recurring until the app is deleted

- AWS Amplify Pricing ↗
“$0.01 per minute for a Standard Instance [...] $0.023 per GB per month [...] $0.15 per GB served [...] SSR requests are free up to 500,000 per month”

Whether it suits you.
Front-end apps deployed from Git onto AWS with usage-based pricing and no monthly minimum, including 1,000 build minutes and 15 GB of transfer under the free tier.
Consider something else if…
Egress beyond the free allowance is $0.15 per GB, which is the highest of the platforms compared here, and SSR compute is capped at 15 minutes.
