Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use Amazon Cognito to restrict access to a GraphQL API. Previously, SimpleTravel’s APIs were publicly accessible. But you’ve seen a surge of new customers, and now your boss wants to ensure that access is limited to authorized users. Your challenges include creating an Amazon Cognito user pool and implementing group-based authorization in AWS AppSync.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
