Describe the solution you'd like
Currently Amplify only supports direct CloudFormation as a provider, and does so by using JSON templates. I read somewhere that other providers can be implemented, and that a future goal is to support multiple providers. It would be great to have an AWS CDK provider, that constructs similar features, but in CDK code.
I feel like this would make it easier to implement new features in Amplify, leveraging common usecases and improvements (eg. asset upload, AWS SAM transformations, YAML output, etc)
Currently I wasn't able to find much of any information/documentation on what is required to implement a custom/new provider, so maybe documenting that/making it easier to discover would be useful as part of this also.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using AWS CDK / SAM separately, and/or consuming externally generated resources through exports.
