" Amazon Honeycode, a new, fully managed low-code/no-code development tool that aims to make it easy for anybody in a company to build their own applications. All of this, of course, is backed by a database in AWS and a web-based, drag-and-drop interface builder. Developers can build applications for up to 20 users for free. After that, they pay per user and for the storage their applications take up. "
create powerful custom mobile and web applications without the need to write code
“Customers have told us that the need for custom applications far outstrips the capacity of developers to create them,” said AWS VP Larry Augustin in the announcement. “Now with Amazon Honeycode, almost anyone can create powerful custom mobile and web applications without the need to write code.”
Like similar tools, Honeycode provides users with a set of templates for common use cases like to-do list applications, customer trackers, surveys, schedules and inventory management. Traditionally, AWS argues, a lot of businesses have relied on shared spreadsheets to do these things.

Amazon is making it easier for wannabe developers to quickly create apps with a new coding offering that requires little to no programming. The new Amazon Honeycode platform allows users to build mobile and web applications, no matter their level of expertise. The company says Honeycode is built on "the full power and scale of AWS", and is available in beta from today in certain regions, with more coming soon.

Amazon Honeycode presents users with a familiar spreadsheet interface for building applications. Users can choose from pre-built templates for functions like time-off reporting or inventory management. Alternatively, they can import data into a blank workbook, use the interface to define the data model, and then design application screens with objects like lists, buttons, and input fields. They can also add automations to drive notifications, reminders, approvals, or other actions based on conditions.
Behind the scenes, the service automates the process of building and linking three common tiers of functionality -- database, business logic, and user interface. As underlying data changes, a Honeycode-built app can update views and dashboards in real-time.
Amazon gives several examples of how users could deploy the service. Customers could, for instance, build apps for customer relationship management, to-do lists, inventory tracking, or event scheduling.
Amazon Honeycode Customers & Clients
Among Honeycode’s first customers are SmugMug and Slack.
AWS says these databases can easily scale up to 100,000 rows per workbook. With this, AWS argues, users can then focus on building their applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
As of now, it doesn’t look like users will be able to bring in any outside data sources, though that may still be on the company’s roadmap. On the other hand, these kinds of integrations would also complicate the process of building an app and it looks like AWS is trying to keep things simple for now. Honeycode currently only runs in the AWS US West region in Oregon but is coming to other regions soon.
