The JWT authorizer is ready to use! We can use Postman or curl to test the endpoint and the authorizer.
After the user has logged in to the application, we want API Gateway to validate their JSON Web Token (JWT) that Auth0 had issued.
A custom authorizer is a Lambda function that contains custom logic to verify the permissions of the caller. Each time API Gateway invokes the function to authorize the request, the custom (Lambda) authorizer will run (caching is available). A Lambda authorizer would cost us money, especially if the route accepts heavy traffic. The developer's time to write the function code can also be a cost factor.
Say that we have decided to use Auth0 for authorization in our architecture. We want to give users with different sets of permissions access to different levels based on their permissions.
