B.CfnCustomUserPoolAuthorizer
An AWS CDK resource that mimics original UserPoolAuthorizer resource.
Description
This is a custom user pool authorizer used to protect API endpoints.
It has exactly the same functionality and purpose as the original
UserPoolAuthorizer.
The main reason why you would want to use this custom authorizer instead
of a default one - is that this custom authorizer can resolve user pool
region, id, and client id from SSM parameters (AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store).
This way your stacks no longer need a dependency to a stack containing user pool instance.
Biomapas aims to modernise life-science industry by sharing its IT knowledge with other companies and the community.
This is an open source library intended to be used by anyone.
Improvements and pull requests are welcome.

Assumptions
This project assumes you are an expert in infrastructure-as-code via AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK.
You must clearly understand how AWS API Gateway endpoints are protected with Authorizers / Custom Authorizers
and how it is managed via CloudFormation or CDK. You must also understand the pain-points
of stack dependencies and dependencies between microservices in general (which this package aims to solve).
- Excellent knowledge in IaaC (Infrastructure as a Code) principles.
- Excellent knowledge in Cognito, User Pool, API Gateway, Authorizers.
- Good experience in AWS CDK and AWS CloudFormation.
- Good Python skills and basis of OOP.
