Hey thanks for the video! 🙏🏿

I've had CDK to look at for AWS but after watching this and today spending some time in the documentation, I think it's definitely the way to go vs navigating AWS each time. I like the concept of it and that it's code afterwards. I've used Puppet before don't know why I didn't look into it seriously before. Kicking myself.

If you can use CDK is there any point using Amplify? (I'm guessing theres an Amplify construct anyways - Feels like. behind the scenes Amplify is an CDK App)

BTW what is the name of the clipboard history that you use at 18:26?

I just can't configure this with NextAuth js using Nextjs 14.. 2 days in consecutive.. not even a clue I'm getting redirect mismatch 😭

Thank you. I have a query here, After sign in user is created in aws cognito.
But in some cases, I do not want to create users like this. We have created users through API or manually and we just need to sing from Google and not create new users.

great tutorial, but I want to perform role based authentication kind of thing with google as feaderated identity provider with cognito. I am also ok if some how I could return one extra attribute like Role (with values user / admin ) so that based on that i can render the appropriate view. Man please help me out

Nice example! Do you have any example not using nextJS or react but kotlin ?

[AlvaroNicoli]

This video helped me out tons! Thank you so much :D Even if I'm using terraform and not the cdk, chatgpt helped me translate those specifications and, with some minor tweaks, I got it all working easy enough. Thanks again!

How do you make it say a custom domain name when they logging in with google rather than it saying Amazon cognito?
