cognito-backup-restore
A Node.js CLI and library for backing up and restoring AWS Cognito User Pool users to/from JSON files.
What is cognito-backup-restore?
cognito-backup-restore is a Node.js tool that addresses a key limitation of Amazon Cognito: the lack of a native backup and restore feature for user pools. It enables developers to export user data to JSON files for migration, disaster recovery, or replication purposes, and import users back into Cognito pools.
Developers and DevOps engineers managing AWS Cognito user pools who need to perform migrations, backups, or disaster recovery operations. It is particularly useful for teams moving users between services or replicating pools across environments.
Developers choose this tool because it fills a critical gap in the AWS Cognito ecosystem with a reliable, no-frills solution. It offers both a user-friendly CLI with interactive prompts and a programmatic TypeScript/JavaScript API, along with built-in rate limit handling to avoid AWS API throttling.
