amazing
Describes something that causes surprise or astonishment because it is unexpected, unusual, or very impressive.
Es ist erstaunlich, wie schnell sie die neue Sprache gelernt hat.
It is amazing how quickly she learned the new language.
The adjective 'erstaunlich' (amazing) is closely related to the verb 'staunen' (to be amazed, to be impressed). So something that is 'erstaunlich' makes you marvel or be amazed.
Ihre Fortschritte im Deutschen sind wirklich erstaunlich.
Her progress in German is truly amazing.
A very common construction is 'Es ist erstaunlich, ...' (It is amazing ...), followed by a subordinate clause with 'wie' (how), 'dass' (that), or 'was' (what). The 'es' serves as a placeholder here.
Es ist erstaunlich, wie viel du in so kurzer Zeit geschafft hast.
It is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time.
'Erstaunlich' can also be used as an adverb to modify another adjective or a verb. It then means something like 'surprisingly'.
Der Film war erstaunlich gut, obwohl ich nichts erwartet hatte.
The film was surprisingly good, even though I had expected nothing.
incredible
Both words express strong surprise at something unusual or impressive. „Erstaunlich“ mainly emphasizes that something is unexpected, while „unglaublich“ can additionally express doubt about its credibility or create an especially extreme impression. Choose „unglaublich“ when the surprise feels particularly strong.

It was amazing that the small club won despite having so few players.
Die Nachricht vom kleinen Vereinssieg war unglaublich, weil niemand damit gerechnet hatte.
