Scalability
Amazon Cognito can automatically scale to handle millions of users, making it suitable for both small and large applications.
Security
It is integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and comes with built-in security features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and encryption.
Integrations
Cognito seamlessly integrates with other AWS services and can be easily incorporated into your existing AWS infrastructure.
Federated Identities
It supports federated identities, allowing users to sign in with different identity providers like Google, Facebook, and enterprise identity providers via SAML.
User Management
Offers robust user management features such as user groups, roles, and fine-grained access permissions, which are essential for more complex applications.
— There will be a oauth2-proxy service deployed
— This service will be exposed via the loadbalancer and the loadbalancer will be mapped against the your domain eg tekton-dashboard.myeks.com
— The upstream of the oauth-proxy service is the tekton-dashboard service.
— We will use AWS Cognito as the OIDC provider for oauth2-proxy service ie user will be authenticated via AWS Cognito.
— With the above setup,…

The authentication system is web based and thus uses HTML1. There is a backend written in JavaScript (actually TypeScript), which in turn – for some operations – talks to a service written in .NET that stores data in AWS Cognito.

While we highly suggest shifting to OIDC, companies that cannot shift away from SAML can find an OIDC compliant federating identity provider (such as Amazon Cognito) to implement SSO through Pomerium and save on the SSO tax.

I’ve heard some people complain about AWS Cognito’s complexity, but I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve never done on-boarding before, and every project I’ve ever been on, or near, on-boarding was always a horror show, both in UI, ability to debug, and stability.

The app uses Amazon Cognito to authenticate users via Google. This was probably the hardest part of the entire project – setting up and configuring the resources necessary to get a Cognito user pool wired up to Google. I kept the Cognito resources in a SAM template separate from the user interface to allow me to iterate on the back-end and UI separately.

Our application consists of a web layer, a GraphQL API powered by AppSync and a DynamoDB table. This part of the application handles user flows, authentication and authorization with Cognito, and storage of event and talk data. Web assets (our Flutter application) are stored in S3 and served over CloudFront. We have a custom domain managed by Route 53. All of this is composed with the AWS Cloud Development Kit.

In this tutorial, we’re building a simple application which integrates Cerbos with a FastAPI server using AWS Cognito for authentication. FastAPI provides us with the `OAuth2PasswordRequestForm` middleware, which extracts the credentials from the form on the UI, and makes them available within the `form_data` object.

You will use an AWS CloudFormation template to create a number of AWS resources, including an Amazon Location Service’s map resource, an Amazon Cognito Identity Pool, plus an IAM role and policy. The Identity Pool, and IAM role and policy are necessary to grant access to the map resource. This way a frontend application can send signed HTTP requests to Amazon Cognito and receive temporary, scoped-down credentials…
