What AWS Cognito is
AWS Cognito is Amazon’s identity platform for web and mobile applications. It is for teams that need to create and manage user accounts, authenticate users, and control access to applications, APIs, and AWS resources.
It provides a user directory, authentication server, and authorisation service. User pools create and manage users, authenticate them for an application or API, and issue JSON web tokens to an app, web server, or API. Identity pools issue AWS credentials, allowing an application to give its users access to AWS resources.
