Feature Spec

Noticed that Auth hasn't been listed yet among initial services, so just adding it here.

Use Cases

In our case of AWS Cognito usage, we limit the access to certain API's or website's features via authentication, e.g:

Only authenticated users, or users belonging to certain user groups can perform actions
Only services with certain IAM roles can perform actions

Implementation Notes

My experience is limited to some Auth0, Cognito and now wanted to explore Auth.js. Having a tight integration with Cognito helped us secure APIs and enable authentication through seamless integration between AWS Amplify (Auth) and Cognito, as well as easy utilization via CDK (our particular case). Not sure about abstracting this at the higher level, and having ability to use different auths.
