Attributes. There are standard attributes like email, phone_number, name, address. Then there are up to 50 custom attributes you can define which need a min/max length and can be of number or string type. You can't remove or change them after you define them. As you user metadata grows this can be insufficient and inflexible causing you to store user data set in another place like a DB. Now your user data is fragmented. Part of it is Cognito and part of it is in the DB. This leads to complexity and performance hits when querying data and consistency issues when updating data. I would avoid using Cognito attributes at all costs and use a DB table for user metadata instead.
