Thank you for creating video on Cognito and covering all aspect of it👏

Contents about Cognito are so rare and difficult to find !! And even if they are available, they all address the basics !! Thank you so very much !!

Great timing on this video! Was learning Cognito and figured I was missing some fundamental knowledge, which you have since filled. Thank you so much for this work!

Great content once again. Thank you for sharing. What would be the normal flow for protecting public requests (not auth user requests)? For example, assuming a client provides a "contact us" form which should send collected data upon submission to a protected endpoint so that data are processed and stored safely in a DynamoDB table.

Can't wait for your Amplify course!!!!

You need to make a course on CORS. I can't get the frontend to call the API Gateway endpoint because it keeps giving me a CORS error.

unhandledRejection: Invalid identity pool configuration. Check assigned IAM roles for this pool.

I got this error while I was trying to config Amplify to AWS Identity Pools
