Could not find a comparison online.
Do not have enough info to decide which one to use (currently looking to make a web client using angular4)
This starter project:
- https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cognito-angular-quickstart/blob/master/package.json#L39
uses the cognito-identity repo
So, some study reveals that:
* For both the repos the header is almost exactly the same.. It is an introduction to AWS Cognito, but the titles are different.
* The introduction for Identity says, "JavaScript enabled applications to sign-up users, authenticate users, view, delete, and update user attributes within the Amazon Cognito Identity service."
- This is quiet counterintuitive :(
The second paragraphs (Introduction) clarifies:
cognito-identity:
- For building client applications
cognito-auth:
- For building web apps
