Listen Later

This is a special episode recorded live during a live coding session on YouTube (2022-09-16). The audio-only experience might not be the best one, so if you are curious to see the video and enjoy our diagrams and screen sharing, please check this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVic3oqqqfY.

How can you build a WeTransfer or a Dropbox Transfer clone on AWS?  This is our fourth live coding stream. In this episode, we started looking into adding some security to our application. Specifically, we started implementing a device auth flow on top of AWS Cognito to allow our file upload CLI application to get some credentials. 

All our code is available in this repository: https://github.com/awsbites/weshare.click
