I'm a fan of using cloudfront + s3 to serve static sites. I have a use case where I need to run a site in s3, but I need authentication. I'd like to be able to handle this in a serverless way, but I need some sort of application to handle the auth logic.
My idea is that I could run a node.js application on something like elastic beanstalk in front of cloudfront to handle authentication.
Basically a user makes a request to the application, my app authenticates the user with our authentication backend, creates a cookie returns it and then servers the private cloudfront url for the requested resource. Am I on the right track here?
The idea is to basically have a gated s3 website that a user can browser after authenticating.
