Amazon Cognito Introduces Self-Service Provisioned Limits for Rate Limit Management
Key points
- Amazon Cognito adds self-service provisioned limits.
- Rate limit adjustments now take minutes instead of weeks.
- Users can scale capacity up or down for traffic events.
- Feature available in AWS Management Console.
Self-Service Rate Limit Management
Amazon Cognito has launched provisioned limits, a new capability that allows users to manage authentication rate limits directly. This feature is accessible through the AWS Management Console for Amazon Cognito, providing on-demand capacity adjustments.
Faster Capacity Adjustments
Previously, adjusting Amazon Cognito rate limits required submitting support tickets, which could take 10 to 14 days for approval and processing. With provisioned limits, these adjustments can now be completed in minutes, significantly reducing planning time for anticipated traffic spikes.
Improved Scalability and Cost Optimization
The new self-service control enables users to scale authentication infrastructure up for high-traffic events like Black Friday and scale down during periods of lower demand. This flexibility helps optimize costs by aligning capacity more closely with actual usage, particularly beneficial for businesses with seasonal traffic patterns.
Integration with Existing Quotas
Provisioned limits work in conjunction with existing account-level maximum limits managed in AWS Service Quotas. This combined approach provides comprehensive control over authentication capacity, allowing for granular adjustments as needed.
