Generate a complete codebase using Amplication’s opinionated standards for Node.js or .NET development. You can customize every aspect of the generated code to fit your existing software ecosystem, or use it as a foundation if you haven’t established your own standards yet. Service resources use Amplication’s best-in-class Node.js and .NET code generation engine to produce human-readable, best-practice code. If you’re comfortable with Node.js or .NET, or need to spin up a backend quickly, creating a service is a great fit.
