11/20/2023, 7:37 PMHey guys, we've been looking for a service to handle user authentation on our app.
One thing we're wondering is the email service through the super token api is also free?
We are going to go for the self-hosted option.
Also wondering, if we start with the cloud version starting off, how difficult will it be to migrate to self-hosted?
And can SuperToken hook into AWS Cognito?

11/21/2023, 4:20 AMMigration from cloud to self hosted is easy. We give you a psql db snapshot, you can restore that in your own db, spin up a supertokens core that points to that, and then make our backend SDK config point to your core. That’s it.

I was meaning to say, could we replace the cloud service with congnito? But I think I'm misunderstanding. I haven't used Cognito before but I the pricing was very attractive.
