Passwordless Auth

This stack allows a user to login directly via email without any need for a pasword. This uses Cognito for authentication along with Lambda triggers. Here's the blog post for the same.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.

Prerequisites

• Install dependencies using yarn
• Rename .example.env to .env in packages/backend and replace the value in SES_FROM_ADDRESS to your verified email address in SES
• Rename .example.env to .env in packages/frontend and replace the value in AWS_REGION to the region your stack is deployed to. Default is us-west-1
