The Q2 2026 updates deliver key enhancements and new capabilities across the Amplify platform during the second quarter of 2026. The updates focus on operationalizing enterprise AI, expanding integration and API-design capabilities, and strengthening security, identity, and cost governance.
Key to this release are new AI cost-management controls in the Amplify AI Gateway — letting organizations set token- and money-based quotas per application and enforce predictable AI spend — alongside broader Model Context Protocol (MCP) maturity.
Amplify Fusion introduces centralized API Design, richer gRPC management, and zero-downtime data plane upgrades, while Amplify Engage advances agentic discovery (AI Agents, A2A, and MCP from Amazon Bedrock AgentCore) and global Marketplace flexibility. Across API Management, the focus is security and platform currency. Together these updates keep the platform a resilient foundation for both digital and AI initiatives.
Explore the updates released this quarter, learn how they can boost your business, and how to unlock the full potential of these improvements.
The Amplify AI Gateway matures from a secure control plane into a cost-governed operating layer for enterprise AI. This quarter introduces AI cost management with enforceable per-application quotas, deeper MCP observability and protocol support, and more flexible MCP proxy management, helping organizations scale AI initiatives with predictable spend and tight oversight.
Amplify Fusion advances as a high-performance, AI-ready integration engine with the addition of centralized API Design, expanded gRPC API management, enterprise-grade identity handling (SSO role/team mapping and OAuth token introspection), and zero-downtime data plane upgrades for uninterrupted operations.
Amplify Engage evolves into the federated control point for the API and AI ecosystem, adding first-class registration and discovery of AI Agents and MCP services, expanded Marketplace flexibility (custom plans, mTLS credentials, branded experiences), and stronger provider governance across consumer organizations.
Amplify API Management focuses on security currency and operational hardening this quarter, with an updated Java runtime, tightened authentication responses, container and Helm refinements, and metrics-database improvements that keep mission-critical API infrastructure secure and stable.
