Just created an account to say screw you AWS Cognito and your credentials voodoo !

*screw = fuck

Can't agree more! & Welcome to devRant!

I am currently dealing with that shit. And I acknowledge your frustration. Can we Bitch together ?

What's wrong with Cognition? Just started implementing it and it's simple, intuitive and well documented so far
Also Just Works (TM)

@Kimmax
How do you replicate this userpool in case you need to add an attribute to the users (or for any other reasons)

* how do you migrate user out of cognito.

* how do I replicate cognito across region (say I have lambdas running in Europe, Americas, Aisa.

* How do you merge user identities with different email address (say user signed up with email password and wants to add his Facebook account, which has different users

* my colleague working on app says iOS sdk for cognito is shit.

I mean, you have to create a new userpool in case you need to add an attribute, how do I do that if my existing user pool already has sizeable amount of users?

Cognito is all good and well for small user base and hello world kind of application.
It works out of the box for such use cases.

@theElectron all good points I didn't thought of so far
I assumed user pools where cross origin out of the box, since it states I don't have to deal with that kind of things hehe
So accessing user pools in Europe isn't possible with lambdas in America?

@Kimmax It is (I would be damned right now if it isn't, so I pray it is). But it will add delay it i am not wrong?
