api-gateway-secure-pet-store
A sample Java application demonstrating secure API access using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, and DynamoDB.
What is api-gateway-secure-pet-store?
API Gateway Secure Pet Store is a sample Java application that demonstrates how to build a secure, serverless backend API using AWS services. It provides a complete example of integrating Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Cognito, and DynamoDB to create a pet store application with user authentication and data persistence. The project solves the problem of understanding how to properly implement authentication and authorization in a serverless architecture on AWS.
AWS developers and architects looking for a practical reference implementation of secure serverless applications using Java. It's particularly useful for those building APIs with Amazon API Gateway and Lambda who need to integrate Cognito for user management.
Developers choose this project because it provides a fully working, well-documented example of AWS serverless security patterns that can be adapted to real-world applications. Unlike generic documentation, it offers concrete code and configuration that demonstrates best practices for authentication, authorization, and API design on AWS.
