I am looking at Mobile backend service providers and trying some sample development.
I have looked at feedhenry, parse etc. I came across Amazon Cognito as well. Looks, "AWS Cognito + Mobile SDK" supports MBaaS predominantly.
Could someone advise me to start trying MBaaS with AWS Cognito?
A cognito dev guide can be found here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/what-is-amazon-cognito.html
Also here is a sample app: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-ios-samples/tree/developer-authenticated-identities-2-4/CognitoSync-Sample
You will likely want to integrate with API Gateway to create your backend APIs- http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/welcome.html

In our project we are using API Gateway to get authenticated by Cognito User Pool.
Now, we are checking instead of hiting API Gateway can we directly hit Cognito for authenticating users.
So, wanted to check if there is any API of AWS cognito-idp admin-initiate-auth to get the tokens without using the CLI command?
Please refer to the link here. You will also find more information about using this API in one of the language-specific AWS SDKs.

I want to add authentication with SSO using azure AD in flutter app.But I didn't find any helpful doc for integration with flutter.So any suggestion will be of great help.
Currently, there is no native SDK for Flutter to integrate with AAD.
Here is a Flutter OAuth package for performing user authentication against Azure Active Directory OAuth2 V2.0 endpoint.
Regarding Single sign-on, you can refer to this document.

Much like AWS provides hosted UI for sign-up/in for Cognito, does there exist an app to modify user-profiles stored in Cognito?
I am looking for either hosted service or a GitHub project I can host myself.
The closest I found so far is https://github.com/MetaMetricsInc/django-warrant. It allows to get Django-app up and running, which uses Cognito as auth back-end and has profile-views. But it's not designed to be integrated into other apps (no AWS UI's like redirect-destination).
I just successfully went through the Cognito setup through AWS console, which is a manual process. I wanted to code it up next, i.e.,
I wanted to setup and configure my Cognito with Cloudformation config file AWS AWS::Cognito::UserPool. However, I don't see a field that define the open id connect providers (i.e, the Facebook and Google as identity provider).
Is there a way to do so?
I am on the Cognito team and this is not possible at this point. However, it is on our roadmap to bring CloudFormation support up to speed to all the features we have launched recently.
I am trying to host a HTML/JS based app on AWS. I need to implement a signup/login feature for this app, now I understand I'll have to have a database (mysql will work?) here. However is there an off-the-shelf way of implementing something like user sign-up for an app on AWS? I don't want to take care of numerous security and authentication scenarios my self.

Secure your web app's access to AWS resources without any server-side
code. AWS SDK for JavaScript makes it easy for you to integrate with
Amazon Cognito, which allows you to provide customizable levels of API
access to unauthenticated and authenticated users. Amazon Cognito is
easy to set up with Facebook, Google, Login with Amazon, and any
OpenID Connect identity provider. To learn how to do this, visit the
AWS JavaScript Development Blog.
