Amazon Cognito recently introduced high-throughput performance for demanding workloads, customer-managed keys for full control over data encryption at rest, and multi- Region replication for business continuity improvement. These capabilities were made possible through a next-generation storage infrastructure designed for extensibility and scale. To deliver this, we migrated hundreds of millions of user profiles, and you probably didn’t even notice. In this post, we walk through what’s new, the architecture behind it, and how we got here with a zero-downtime migration that kept your applications running. New capabilities now available on Cognito The migration to the new infrastructure wasn’t just about maintaining existing functionality—it created the foundation for delivering capabilities that solve customer challenges while positioning Amazon Cognito for continuous improvements. High-throughput performance: The new architecture supports the higher request volumes and scale requirements of modern applications while maintaining the low latency performance that your applications depend on—able to support tens of millions of users per user pool and thousands of transactions per second (TPS). Customer-managed keys: Customers can now use their own encryption keys stored in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for encrypting data at rest. This provides enhanced security control and capabilities, giving customers full ownership over their encryption key lifecycle. Multi-Region replication: Customers can now synchronize their entire user pool data, including user passwords, …
