Analytics

The Analytics category enables you to collect analytics data for your app. The Analytics category comes with built-in support for Amazon Pinpoint and Amazon Kinesis (Kinesis support is currently only available in the Amplify JavaScript library). The Analytics category uses Amazon Cognito Identity pools to identify users in your app. Cognito allows you to receive data from authenticated and unauthenticated users in your app.
