Before you install
- AWS CDK v1 is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01; new projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead.
- Low install friction with a wheel distribution.
- However, this is AWS CDK v1, which reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer being updated; users should migrate to AWS CDK v2 instead.

What it is and what it does
This package provides a Python construct library for AWS CDK v1 that lets you define Amazon Cognito user pools and related authentication infrastructure declaratively. It wraps CloudFormation resources and higher-level abstractions for common Cognito patterns like sign-up, sign-in with multiple aliases (username, email, phone), multi-factor authentication, Lambda triggers, and identity providers.
The library is stable for CloudFormation resources and user pool constructs, but Identity Pool L2 constructs are not implemented here. Critically, AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer maintained; AWS recommends migrating to CDK v2 for new projects and ongoing support.
Use it for
- Define a user pool with self-sign-up and email verification in a CDK stack without writing CloudFormation directly.
- Configure sign-in options (username, email, phone) and multi-factor authentication for a web or mobile app.
- Set up Lambda triggers for custom authentication flows or user lifecycle events in Cognito.
- Grant IAM roles permissions to perform Cognito operations like admin user creation.
