In addition to my recent guide on using auth with the new AWS HTTP APIs and the Serverless Framework. I’ve started a more comprehensive guide the using AWS HTTP APIs.

I just wrote a guide to using the newly released AWS HTTP APIs with the Serverless Framework. I include several boilerplate code examples for using the HTTP API with Amazon Cognito and JWT Authentication. You can use this feature to create faster and cheaper serverless apis.

Amazon Cognito can be a useful service when you want to add authentication and authorization to an existing application on AWS. But I’ve also noticed a few quirks that I couldn’t find answers to anywhere in the documentation. So here’s my attempt to spare some folks idle hours search for answers.
