This addon simplify the generation of code for model build with JDL Studio https://start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio/
It also guide you to set up a JSON-API server on top of AWS API Gateway, Lambda and DynamoDB.
It could also be seen as a starter for setting up Mirage, allowing the developper to build a full working application (using mock data) entirely running on the client. Once the development is over, the persistance can be delegated to an AWS API Gateway using a lambda function storing objects in DynamoDB.
