Do you just not tell Amazon about your side project and only quit once it becomes successful or right before it gets funding and you create a LLC?
Any tips from those who have done this successfully?

Dunno about Amazon but Google has a process where you can get a release for an idea if its judged to not be competitive with an area of Google's business. If you don't do something like this, you might not get pursued after leaving, but you might and it's not at all worth the risk of forfeiting a large stake in your new venture to your old employer
Don’t let any of your work touch employer property
Don’t let any of your work make its way online (publicity or source code) until after you quit
Instead of thinking about this as a clear cut scenario think about it as a probability distribution. Legal risk is a quantity. Estimate expected value and act accordingly.
