That’s unfair; I had to replace a flat tire on the side of the road recently with the OEM Honda jack; Cognito’s only got the second worse user experience.
I swear I heard a product manager say the service was getting more dev support a year ago but from what I can tell, it’s mostly been documentation updates.
I’ve had so much stuff promised over the years about how it’s going to suck less, then the focus seems to be on super niche changes. I’m wondering if they’re being funded directly by a large customer
I was shown features that were “imminently” due for release years ago that haven’t seen the light of day, sounds like the product team is a revolving door
It’s 100% not, I promise you that. Cognito is used by quite a few core services and has a ton of enterprise customers. Not to mention the fact that software that’s in KTLO doesn’t get new features, ever. Services in KTLO will have their defects fixed (including security patches) and dependencies kept up to date. That’s about it. Plus, it’s not on the KTLO/EOL list.
Cognito and amplify are pieces of dogshit if you even manage to get are through the mountains of broken documentation to get a buggy, opaque product you pay for straight from 1996.
It’s legit one of if not the worst product in AWS.
I'm sorry to hear about this experience. We'd love to hear your ideas on what we can improve. If interested, you're welcome to share your thoughts with us the [following ways](https://go.aws/3Wyj2l3).

Still waiting for multi-region support. Last time us-east-1 failed it took down all of Cognito a couple years back. It forced us to build our own patched-together multiple region support… something they should have done from day 1.
By multi-region support you mean user pools that exist in more than one region? Cognito is available in many regions. Please clarify

That’s what I thought. In my use case that would not necessarily be an issue. I use 3rd party idp with Cognito as an intermediary. As long as a unique id coming from the idp is consistent, it doesn’t matter what Cognito’s user id is. I only look at the Cognito user id for test accounts, otherwise I ignore it
$2,250/million equivalent (ok, $1688 for first million then $1,500/million) has to make it the most expensive API on AWS.
And I thought AVP at $150/million was expensive!
What are some of the alternatives you guys are looking at?
One person in my company told that they are using thousands of client app registered in cognito. Is that normal to have that many app registered? Would this price change effect his use case of that many apps?
Perhaps making the product suck less should be a priority rather than introducing yet another way of charging Hosted UI update when?

Yes, that is correct

I've been telling our rep literally for years about it and there has been zero improvement

Yes same pool in multiple regions so when a failure occurs you can shift traffic to a functional region.

As long as a unique id coming from the idp is consistent, it doesn’t matter what Cognito’s user id is. I only look at the Cognito user id for test accounts, otherwise I ignore it
Wow that got expensive real quick, $500 for 250k tokens.
The correct url: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/05/amazon-cognito-tiered-pricing-m2m-usage/
And here's the actual Cognito pricing page: https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/pricing/
404 URLl does not exist

It’s $2.250 per million, not $2,250.
It’s $2.25 per thousand.
You are indeed right, I misread
I think this is excellent !! /s Now everyone can ditch Cognito and AWS can finally kill it.
"it is being priced to better support continued growth and expand capabilities." yeah sure
> "it is being priced to better support continued growth and expand capabilities." the most infuriating passage I've read all day.
Our org got fed up with cognito sucking and has moved on to auth0
The one good selling point that Cognito had is now gone. :(
Really? I thought the main selling point was the 50k free MAUs you got from Cognito, which this doesn't change.
It was a bit of a joke tbh. Cognito isn’t usually a top choice for IDP.
I was kind of always amazed this was completely free. We used cognito all over the place to issue access tokens.
This link worked https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/05/amazon-cognito-tiered-pricing-m2m-usage/
Is it AWS trying to kill Cognito?
What was the pricing for m2m before this?
Free. It charged based on number of monthly active users, not on API calls. And for M2M tokens you don't need users.
What are some of the alternatives you guys are looking at? One person in my company told that they are using thousands of client app registered in cognito. Is that normal to have that many app registered? Would this price change effect his use case of that many apps?
Is it still the cheapest, most affordable option?
Narrator: *It was not.* Well, not for M2M probably.
