Write custom activity data with a Lambda function after Amazon Cognito user authentication using an AWS SDK

The following code example shows how to write custom activity data with a Lambda function after Amazon Cognito user authentication.

Use administrator functions to add a user to a user pool.
Configure a user pool to call a Lambda function for the PostAuthentication trigger.
Sign the new user in to Amazon Cognito.
The Lambda function writes custom information to CloudWatch Logs and to an DynamoDB table.
Get and display custom data from the DynamoDB table, then clean up resources.
