51. Authentication for a CLI app with Cognito - Live coding PART 4

How can you build a WeTransfer or a Dropbox Transfer clone on AWS?

This is our fourth live coding stream. In this episode, we started looking into adding some security to our application. Specifically, we started implementing a device auth flow on top of AWS Cognito to allow our file upload CLI application to get some credentials.

All our code is available in this repository: github.com/awsbites/weshare.click.

Some of the resources we mentioned:

• Content-Disposition Header on MDN
• OAuth 2 Device Auth flow RFC8628
• XKCD Comic about password security
• crypto-random-string package
• Dash offline documentation app
