Authorize access: Amazon Cognito + AWS IAM + Fine-grained access control

AWS IAM Roles •  Mechanism for delivering temporary credentials •  Has two policies

–  Trust (who can assume role) –  Access (what resources the role can access)

•  3 types roles –  AWS Service Roles –  Cross-Account Access –  Identity Provider Access

Roles for Amazon Cognito •  2 roles

–  Authenticated users –  Unauthenticated users

•  Access to Cognito Sync and Mobile Analytics •  Can be modified to support access to any AWS service •  Supports policy variables for fine-grained access control

Policy Variables – Amazon S3 

{

"Effect":"Allow",

"Action":["s3:PutObject","s3:GetObject","s3:DeleteObject"],

"Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}/*"

}



{

"Effect":"Allow",

"Action":"s3:ListBucket",

app.

Fast

Scale to billions of events per day from millions of

users.

Own Your Data

“Easily collect, visualize, and understand your app usage data at scale”

Data collected are not shared, aggregated, or

Track Reten'on User reten0on is a key indicator to judge the outcome of a marke0ng campaign, new feature introduc0on, UX changes, app updates, etc. Mobile Analy0cs provide four charts to track daily or weekly rate of returning users, aYer first use of the app.

Get behavioral insights into app-‐specific ac0ons that your users take.

Reports provide a view of how oYen custom events occur. You can add further context with A@ributes and Metrics, to each custom event. Examples

Amazon DynamoDB Connector: Object Mapper

Simplifies access to Amazon DynamoDB in your app Map client-‐side classes to Amazon DynamoDB tables Removes the need to transform objects into tables and vice versa

Send Push Notifications: Amazon SNS Mobile Push

SNS publishes notifications on your behalf using the credentials you obtain from each push service.

Apple APNS

Google GCM

Amazon ADM

Amazon SNS Mobile Push

SNS encapsulates each device token inside an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) endpoint.

Apple APNS

Google GCM

Amazon ADM


ARN 1 Token A

ARN 2 Token B

ARN 3 Token C

Once you register a device with SNS, SNS proactively consumes feedback about the corresponding token from the push service.


Token Registra'on

Token Feedback

Cloud App

You can access the underlying tokens and feedback, but you don’t have to do so in order to use SNS.

ARN endpoints remain stable, even if the underlying token is swapped or disabled.

Run Your Own Backend: AWS Lambda

Event-Driven Compute in the Cloud •  Launched last November at re:Invent

–  Lambda functions: Stateless, request-driven code execution –  Triggered by events in other services:

•  PUT to an Amazon S3 bucket •  Write to an Amazon DynamoDB table •  Record in an Amazon Kinesis stream

–  Makes it easy to… •  Transform data as it reaches the cloud •  Perform data-driven auditing, analysis, and notification •  Kick off workflows

Mobile Compute: Building Backends with Lambda

Launching Mobile Compute •  Request/response •  AWS Mobile SDK •  Easy Personalization

…for devices …for end users

AWS Lambda Mobile App

Easy Personalization

Which device is she using?

?

Which end user is this?

?

Calling Lambda Functions •  Call from mobile or web apps

–  Wait for a response or send an event and continue –  AWS SDK, AWS Mobile SDK, REST API, CLI

•  Send events from Amazon S3 or SNS: –  One event per Lambda invocation, 3 attempts

•  Process DynamoDB changes or Amazon Kinesis records as events: –  Ordered model with multiple records per event –  Unlimited retries (until data expires)

Writing Lambda Functions

•  The Basics –  Stock node.js –  AWS SDK comes built in and ready to use –  Lambda handles inbound traffic

•  Stateless –  Use S3, DynamoDB, or other Internet storage for persistent data –  Don’t expect affinity to the infrastructure (you can’t “log in to the box”)

•  Familiar –  Use processes, threads, /tmp, sockets, … –  Bring your own libraries, even native ones

No Infrastructure to Manage

•  Focus on business logic, not infrastructure

•  Upload your code; AWS Lambda handles

•  Capacity •  Scaling •  Deployment •  Monitoring •  Logging •  Web service front end •  Security patching

Automatic Scaling

•  Lambda scales to match the event rate

•  Don’t worry about over or under provisioning

•  Pay only for what you use

•  New app or successful app, Lambda matches your scale

Bring your own code

•  Create threads and processes, run batch scripts or other executables, and read/write files in /tmp.

•  Include any library with your Lambda function code, even native libraries.

Other Event Sources for Lambda •  Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)

–  Easily target, route, transform, filter, or audit messages –  Trigger an AWS Lambda function by sending it notifications –  Turn Amazon CloudWatch alarms into actions

Lambda Func0on SNS

Other Event Sources for Lambda •  Amazon Cognito

–  Before: Easily synchronize user data across their devices –  Now: Take action when that data changes –  Examples: Verify and respond to game state updates
