What is AWS Cloudscape Design System

Cloudscape Design System, is an open source solution from AWS for building intuitive, engaging, and inclusive user experiences at scale. Cloudscape consists of an extensive set of guidelines to create web applications, along with the design resources and front-end components to help streamline implementation.

Cloudscape was built internally for and is used by AWS products and services. AWS created it in 2016 to improve the user experience across AWS web applications, and also to help teams implement those applications faster. Since then, AWS have continued enhancing the system. Cloudscape was used to create the AWS Management Console, so you may already have used a cloudscape product without knowing it.

AWS have released Cloudscape as open source so that anyone building cloud products can benefit from Cloudscape design system, and also join a community of designers and developers who continually improve it.

There are 60+ components, 30+ pattern guidelines, and 20+ demos as well as theming, dark mode and content density to help produce and customise your UX
