How to make Lambda call through API services using credentials received from Cognito?

Thanks for the quickstart. It works very nicely. Now that my users can sign up and log in, I want them to be able to perform functions in my web app that call Lambda functions through the API gateway. I know that goes beyond the scope of this quickstart, but having secure access to "something" is I guess the point of Cognito. I know how to write Lambda functions. I am using one to do some work when during the pre-signup. But I want to be able to call an API gateway that is secured by this app which calls a Lambda and returns it's result to the web app. Thank you.

Makes perfect sense. I created another project that specifically demos this functionality: https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-photo-recognition

Once setup, you will be able to call API Gateway, which, in turn, will call a Lambda function.
