I've got a feeling this is a noob question... Is there a way to simulate the use of Cognito User pools locally (so offline)?
I've got a feeling that resorting to aws cognito normal user pools while developing is bit unnecessary. I now that with serverless there's a plugin to use it offline, but didn't found one for cognito.

Also there is an open source contributor created node package/docker image emulating some parts of Cognito, but not all.

Haven't used it personally, but looking forward to it.

Recently localstack released a pro version that actually allows to run the cognito locally. It also has several other services that normally are used with cognito so this is the perfect solution for me.

The AWS SDK doesn't include a local plugin for using Cognito User Pools at this time, however we have heard this request from other customers and will consider it in future releases.
