AWS Examples ServerlessSocialApp A sample authentication service implemented with a server-less architecture, using AWS Lambda to host and execute the code and Amazon DynamoDB as persistent storage. This provides a cost-efficient solution that is scalable and highly available. The basic functions implemented are in ServerlessSocialApp as follows:
- new user creation
- login, getting back an authentication "token"
- list users profiles with pagination
- password change
- password reset, an email is sent with a link to reset the password For details of each lambda function take a look at unit & integration test
The APIs are exposed as AWS Lambda Functions:
| Function | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| CreateUserFunctionHandler | email, password | created: true / false |
| AuthenticateFunctionHandler | email, verify | verified: true / false |
| UserPaginationFunctionHandler | email, lost, password | changed: true / false |
| LambdAuthLogin(-) | email, password | login: true / false, identityId, token |
| LambdAuthChangePassword(-) | email, oldPassword, newPassword | changed: true / false |
| LambdAuthLostPassword(-) | sent: true / false | |
| LambdAuthResetPassword(-) | email, lost, password | changed: true / false |
