That has been a barrier to us switching to Cognito. It'd save us a ton of money. Been asking AWS to support cross region replication for years now.

At this point I regret using it and while I have some limited experience with both Ping and Okta I think I'm ready to move us to Auth0.

AWS makes a simple move between user pools inexplicably difficult. They don't even offer an export and import in the same file format as far as I know (bulk export is all JSON via the CLI and import is CSV, but maybe I missed something).

This is ridiculous in my opinion given that once a pool is configured you cannot change attributes (say, turning on a middle name field).

Have they ever given you a response? Cognito has so much unrealized potential...

Gotcha. I sure hope that NDA'd response is "we're about to unleash 'Cognito2' that rights all the wrongs of the current Cognito."
