Using Cognito groups to control access to API endpoints

• frank_jwt

  355 250 3.1 Rust

  JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

Both the ID and access tokens are JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and contain the group information as a claim. I will cover the difference between ID and access tokens in another article.

• create-react-app

  576 101,923 1.5 JavaScript

  Set up a modern web app by running one command.

  

I just span up a quick React app and created the /app page. If you start the app with npm start, it will display the landing page on localhost:3000, so Cognito can redirect the user to localhost:3000/app.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• aws-lambda-java-libs

  304 506 6.6 C++

  Official mirror for interface definitions and helper classes for Java code running on the AWS Lambda platform.

  

We will protect both endpoints with a custom authorizer, which is a Lambda function. The authorizer will verify, decode and extract the group information from the token, and allows or denies the request.
