Is Amplify self-hosted like Netdata?

No. Amplify is a cloud service. You install a lightweight agent; the UI and storage live on our side, so there is nothing to run or patch on your servers beyond the agent.

Does Netdata already include NGINX metrics?

Yes — per-node. Amplify adds a fleet view, long-term retention, email/Slack/Telegram alerts, config security analysis, and website uptime monitoring across all your servers in one dashboard.

Yes. Netdata for ultra-high-resolution local introspection and Amplify for long-term fleet-wide trending and alerting work well together.
