Techstars Startup Week & Artup Week Fort Collins 2018

Wojciech Magda will be discussing using Cognito and API Gateway for user authentication and authorization.

Cognito is the user-management service from AWS, giving developers an easy way to allow users to sign up or sign in to web and mobile applications. Cognito is designed to scale to millions of users and also integrations with social logins such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon. While very useful, people are often confused by Cognito and don't understand how to use it effectively. If you have ever had questions about how to leverage Cognito in your web or mobile apps, this talk will be of benefit.

In this talk, Wojciech will demo setting up a public API using API Gateway using Cognito for user authentication.

This talk is a natural follow-up after last month's discussion on serverless web architecture.
