I've updated the MVP rocketship template. If you want to build a #serverless #API on #AWS and protect it with #Cognito, you're welcome to duplicate and tinker with this template repository.

I've been using it for a while now and upstreamed some improvements today including test scripts to exercise your endpoints, and support for browser-based clients that need #CORS headers.
