Amazon Cognito now supports multi-Region replication (aws.amazon.com)

I work for a Cognito competitor, but I am glad to see them investing in improving the lives of folks using this native AWS service.

It felt like Cognito was abandoned for a while.

This has been an obvious feature request for many years, but glad to see AWS investing in what started to feel like a service that was mostly abandoned for investment.

This should have been available from the beginning. I don't understand why it took so long.

i try to keep my comments on here positive, but man, my experience using this product has been awful.

This prevented us from failing over during last October's outage (unless we wanted to reset everyone's password). Glad to see AWS focusing in on resiliency.

Cognito just supported multi-region? For identity this seems like a very high priority issue. I was at a company 10 years ago that we didn't use Cognito to build, and build our own AWS based identity because Cognito didn't have this (and just seemed pretty half-baked).

Yay, it's only taken them years to do this.

Since the pool identifiers are static, how do you actually fail over?

Oh, you need a custom domain that presumably routes if the primary dies.
