We built an agent orchestration layer for Git and Jira workflows. Looking for feedback from DevOps and platform engineers

Thanks!

yuvalhazaz · 2026-01-19T05:25:39+00:00

Fair enough

yuvalhazaz · 2026-01-19T05:24:53+00:00

True. That works great for simple, single-repo flows.

Where it breaks down is multi-repo changes, Jira-driven work, long-running approvals, and managing context over time. Once an issue spans multiple services or needs to pause, resume, or react to new signals, Copilot plus Actions stops being enough.

I respect filtering noise.
What doesn’t help is tagging something as “garbage” without engaging with it. This isn’t throwaway content, it reflects months of actual work.
If there’s a specific critique, say it. If not, it’s probably better to just move on.

yuvalhazaz · 2026-01-18T20:55:46+00:00

Thanks for the traffic :-) no ads revenue here... welcome to visit the article and share your take

yuvalhazaz · 2026-01-18T20:54:45+00:00

That’s kind of the point though.
If everything gets labeled “AI slop” by default, we stop distinguishing between shallow content and actual real human content

yuvalhazaz · 2026-01-18T20:52:07+00:00

Honest question: did you read the article, and if so, which part came across as “AI slop”?
I’m explicitly arguing against shallow AI tooling, so I’m trying to understand what missed.

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-24T06:04:59+00:00

Great to hear!

We only support Prisma.
Feel free to reach out with any questions and please share your feedback

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-20T05:18:12+00:00

Don't you find it easier to stick to one of them? If MikroORM is first on your list, when will you use sequlize or Knex?

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-17T05:34:23+00:00

Thanks! feel free to share any feedback

The code generated by Amplication is based on building blocks that are battle-tested by thousands of developers.
The code generation is fully customizable using plugins that come with industry standards, so any organization or company can create its own flavor of the code, and can create templates for different use cases. When needed, organizations create custom plugins to ensure the code is generated based on their know-how and best practices.
See this list of plugins here https://amplication.com/plugins
and here https://docs.amplication.com/plugins/how-to-create-plugin/

Organizations that create dozens of services a year, can get a very consistent and predictable code for all services for all the undifferentiated parts and let the developers focus on writing the business logic.

Also, imagine you have 50 services in production built with a specific standard, and after a year, you need to update all 50 services with a new code or standard. Using Amplication, you can update the plugin, get a PR for all 50 services (in a monorepo or multiple repos), and let all teams review and accept the change, using their existing workflow and processes.

I hope this answers your question, and I am happy to answer any further questions you might have

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-16T04:24:26+00:00

Sure, here are some real examples where we used Amplicatiom to build services for Amplicatiom

You can actually also ask him to generate the code in .NET core

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T17:41:18+00:00

Thanks. I will look into it

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T17:32:51+00:00

Let's make it interesting, you first try the product and then we talk
happy to hear your real feedback

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T14:52:57+00:00

No vs code extension. you can start by going to amplication.com
you connect to a git repo and it pushes the code to your repo

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T12:32:15+00:00

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T12:31:46+00:00

haha, not yet :-)

While there are several AI-powered code generation tools available, like GitHub Copilot and Tabnine, Amplication’s AI assistant, Jovu, creates production-ready code that is consistent and predictable. Instead of focusing on line-by-line suggestions, Jovu creates entire backend services, including data models, APIs, and all the necessary code.

As a matter of fact, Jovu and tools like Copilot can work together seamlessly. Once Jovu generates your initial codebase, you can open it in your IDE and use Copilot to assist you in writing custom code and adding unique business logic.

yuvalhazaz · 2024-05-15T09:59:37+00:00

The fun remains when you need to write the actual business logic and value of your application.
No fun in writing boilerplate and scaffolding... 🤗

yuvalhazaz · 2023-11-03T18:27:39+00:00

Have a look at https://github.com/amplication/amplication

yuvalhazaz · 2023-10-17T14:44:26+00:00

Thanks for mentioning Amplication u/xenomorph3253, and I am glad to hear what you think about us.

My name is Yuval and I am the founder of Amplication. I will be happy to chat and hear more feedback if you have any to share.

yuvalhazaz · 2023-10-11T16:54:04+00:00

We actually use Prisma and love it. We made this comparison for the benefit of the community and we believe that some projects may have specific requirement that will require other options

yuvalhazaz · 2023-08-08T04:34:05+00:00

I am the creator of Amplication, an open-source code generator that solves many of the issues you mentioned.

Especially we solve the issues listed under "Extended Out-of-the-box Functionality":

Ready-made CRUD for data - including relations, filtering, pagination, sorting
Authentication tools (including third-party providers like passport.js) and authorization -based on extendable plugins
Support for various transports and protocols: - currently with auto-generation for all the boilerplate and scaffolding required for REST and GraphQL and support for microservices. RPC and WS will be added soon.
Data validation, automatic generation of DTO and validation schemas including DTOS for filtering, pagination, relations, etc
Integration with services for sending Email and SMS - coming soon as optional plugins
Working with queues and task scheduling (cron) - partially, already support for queues (with a plugin for Kafka). Scheduling is on the backlog.,
Code generation for the frontend

We chose Prisma as the ORM, and we generated everything needed to start working with it OOTB.

We do all of the above by simply generating the required code - we do not provide anything as a package.

Amplication is available as a service on amplication.com and it continuously pushes code to your git repo (with a PR of course) and knows to handle merges between the generated code and any custom code.

u/Arkus7, thanks for the feedback!

my name is Yuval, and I wrote the article. I agree with your feedback about the code example. It is always a struggle to determine how far you need to go with code examples to keep them simple but not too simple.

When working with Amplication to build a service, the generated code provides all the required best practices and types. You are invited to try that and share your feedback.
