The title of the article isn't a fair representation of what the author actually says. The author dislikes specific technologies within the amplify umbrella, but admits other ones are acceptable.
From experience, AWS Amplify auth for interacting with aws cognito is a perfectly acceptable high value (low cost) solution for many use cases. I can't speak to the other technologies.

- camhart 4y agoPassport is nodejs specific it looks like (no personal experience with it). AWS Amplify auth with cognito gives you libs for most major platforms (android, ios, web, etc) in most frameworks (vue, angular, react, native, etc). Plus aws cognito integrates well with AWS.
- thedougd 4y agoI believe Amazon folded the Cognito SDKs into the Amplify SDK. You can use the SDK for Cognito and not use Amplify, the service, at all.
