Your identity provider handles authentication, but how do you design the authorization model that follows? In this chalk talk, learn how to use OIDC token claims from providers, including Amazon Cognito, with a Cedar-based authorization model.

Architecture reviews happen at milestones: a design review here, an operational readiness check there. But AI coding agents make architectural decisions dozens of times a day, and governance that runs at milestone pace can't keep up.

Master the use of generative AI-powered software agents for creating and analyzing architecture diagrams and technical documentation. Learn to work with various diagram formats, from images to diagram-as-code representations.

Learn how to implement robust API authorization in applications within minutes using the new Amazon Verified Permissions Express Toolkit. Move beyond complex, embedded authorization logic that becomes unmanageable over time.

This builders’ session explores using generative AI to create and comprehend architecture diagrams, a critical aspect of software design and communication. Diagrams are often image data, custom formats of drawing programs, or text-based representations from diagram-as-code tools.

Cedar is a language for defining permissions as policies that describe who should have access to what. Amazon Verified Permissions and AWS Verified Access use Cedar to define fine-grained permissions for applications and end users.
