This document summarizes mobile web and app development using AWS services. It notes that when developing mobile apps, developers focus on the undifferentiated heavy lifting required and what makes their app unique. AWS Mobile Services make the undifferentiated components like handling transient network conditions easy, allowing developers to focus on their unique app aspects. It provides examples of AWS Mobile Services that can help with areas like client-side libraries, serverless infrastructure, testing on devices, analytics, messaging users, and finding mobile software.
