Amazon doesn't have any way of backing up their AWS Cognito User Pools.
So in my frustrating times working with AWS Cognito, I wrote this tool. cognito-backup
is a simple CLI for backing up the user data, and can also restore afterwards. Note: AWS has no way of extracting the passwords of your users so you need to store these separately 😵
We use the Angular git commit
style
