Amplication, developer of an open-source project that streamlines and automates backend development, this week announced that it has raised $6.6 million in seed funding.
The capital will be used to expand Amplication's open-source community, support product development and introduce an enterprise version of the platform.
With highly sought-after developers in short supply, Amplication saves time by alleviating delays in the development process caused by repetitive coding tasks, improving productivity and the overall efficiency of the process. It does this without compromising full control for flexibility, customization and extensibility.
The platform auto-generates fully functional, human-readable and editable apps based on TypeScript and Node.js. This includes NestJS, Prisma, REST API, GraphQL API, a React admin UI, authentication, authorization and testing.
Yuval Hazaz, founder and CEO of Amplication
I built Amplication as an open-source project to make coding more efficient by eliminating repetitive coding tasks—a prevalent issue that plagues developers and which I encountered first-hand when I was a technology leader. Since releasing the project in January 2021, we've seen incredible community adoption with thousands of programmers using the product and actively contributing to its development.

When I saw Amplication, I understood immediately that this is the solution we've been waiting for, because it can save the engineering team valuable time by generating a common backend code that can scale-up with business needs. It solves common backend challenges, such as API creation, monitoring, entity management and many other coding tasks that, as an engineer, I needed to recreate over and over again for so many apps.
