I want to use cognito but the documentation is not good. For example, how do I use cognito to authorize against an api I wrote? It's not clear from the documentation.
As a rule I think if you feel you're outside the sweet spot of an AWS service before you start using it, I'd take that as a steer that it's probably not the right route to go.

It feels like someone's hackathon project that was accidentally deployed to production, and has been running ever since.
