AWS Amplify and Cognito Authentication

The AngelCX platform uses AWS Amplify SDK to integrate with Amazon Cognito for authentication and user management. This integration provides a secure and scalable authentication system with features like user registration, sign-in, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Setup and Configuration

The authentication setup is configured in the Amplify backend using TypeScript:

// amplify/auth/resource.ts
import { defineAuth } from '@aws-amplify/backend';

export const auth = defineAuth({
  // Cognito User Pool configuration
});

Features

1. User Authentication Flow

   • Email/password authentication
   • Custom email templates
   • MFA support
   • Secure token management
   • Session handling

2. Post-Confirmation Workflow

   • Lambda triggers for post-confirmation actions
   • Customer record creation in database
   • Initial configuration setup
   • User-customer record association

Backend Integration

// amplify/backend.ts
import { defineBackend } from '@aws-amplify/backend';
import { auth } from './auth/resource';

defineBackend({
  auth,
  // Other Amplify resources
});
