⚠️ Amplify Gen 1 & Amplify Studio are in Maintenance Mode ⚠️

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Amplify Gen 1 is in maintenance mode.** Amplify Studio builds on Gen 1 and follows the same timeline.

Starting **May 1, 2026**, Gen 1 backends will receive **only critical bug fixes and security patches**, and Gen 1 will reach **end of life on May 1, 2027**.

- Existing apps continue to function — there is no forced shutdown.
- This repository no longer accepts new feature requests.
- We recommend migrating to **Amplify Gen 2** to keep receiving new features and support.

**Migration guide:** https://docs.amplify.aws/react/start/migrate-to-gen2/

**Official announcement (source of truth):** https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/issues/14881

Please direct questions about the timeline to the announcement thread above.

This issue is an announcement rather than a code task, and it names no repository files or tests to change. Read the linked migration guide and official announcement first; the documented outcome is communicating the Gen 1 and Amplify Studio maintenance timeline and directing questions to the announcement thread.
