Introduction to AWS Cognito Service?
Amazon Cognito is a simple user identity and data synchronization service that helps you securely manage and synchronize app data for your users across their mobile devices. You can create unique identities for your users through several public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and support unauthenticated guests. In addition, you can save app data locally on users’ devices, allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline.
React JS?
React JS is an open-source JavaScript library for developing website user interfaces. React JS allows us to create reusable UI Components.
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you set up Amazon Cognito.
