Do you recommend AWS Amplify for a small scale Uber clone?

Cross posting from HashNode.

A friend of mine is creating Uber-like app for a small company with 200 to 1000 cars. The app will operate in a single city with that number of cars. The app will work like Uber, with user registration, booking a cab, maps, etc.

Do you guys think AWS Amplify or other such solution will be a good idea to back the app? How much would be the server costs at the peak of app’s traffic?

@AstonJ can I post the same on ElixirForum? Because there I’ll get more users to talk about it.
