Let's understand what Amazon Cognito is. It's a tool that helps you add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your apps. So, why should you use it? Because it provides several benefits such as easy integration, scalability, and improved security. In this video tutorial designed for beginners, I'll guide you on how to use Amazon Cognito in your app. We'll start from the very basics, explaining what Cognito is, and gradually move towards building a complete authentication system from scratch. But that's not all. I'll also show you how to effectively use Amazon Cognito in conjunction with the Serverless Framework. This framework allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers, and when used together with Cognito, it can greatly streamline your development process.
