Securing AWS HTTP APIs with JWT Authorizers | Step-by-Step Guide | Authenticate your Lambda function

🚀 Welcome to Beyond The Cloud!

📽️ Video Description:
In this video, we’ll show you how to secure your AWS HTTP APIs built on Amazon API Gateway using JWT (JSON Web Token) Authorizers. JWTs provide a powerful, standardized way to authenticate and authorize API requests, ensuring your APIs remain secure and accessible only to authorized users.

🔍 Key Topics Covered:
• Introduction to JWT Authorizers: Understand the basics of JWTs, how they work, and why they are ideal for securing HTTP APIs.
• Setting Up HTTP APIs with JWT Authorization: A step-by-step guide to integrating JWT authorizers with AWS API Gateway.
• Configuring JWT Validation: Learn how to configure claims and audience validation to ensure only valid tokens are accepted.
• Integrating with Identity Providers: Explore how to use popular identity providers like Auth0 compliant systems for token issuance.
• Testing and Troubleshooting: Demonstrate how to test API access with valid and invalid tokens, and troubleshoot common issues with JWT authorization.
• Best Practices for API Security: Tips to enhance security, such as token expiration, claim validation, and role-based access control (RBAC).

🛠️ Hands-On Demonstration:
Watch as we guide you through creating a secure HTTP API on AWS, configuring a JWT authorizer, and testing it with real-world use cases.

🎓 Who Should Watch:
• Developers building secure, scalable APIs on AWS API Gateway.
• IT professionals implementing modern authentication and authorization techniques.
• Anyone looking to enhance API security with JWT-based authorization.

📈 Why It Matters:
Securing APIs is critical for protecting sensitive data and ensuring only authorized users can access your services. JWT authorizers offer a scalable and standards-compliant way to secure your APIs with minimal overhead.
