How to use Amazon Cognito without Amplify

I'm just now diving into Cognito. The AWS setup has been fairly straight-forward, easy.

We have a variety of apps, webapps, and services and we'd like those to make use of the Cognito service. I've experience setting up similar with Auth0, but because we've been leveraging a number of Amazon Web Services, it really makes sense to use Cognito as well.

Everywhere I look, every guide eventually references Amplify client-side library and cli. We have existing apps and services, and really don't want to change tooling or import anything unnecessary to add bloat and complexity. Is there a way to use Cognito service without Amplify libraries? Is there a lightweight Cognito-only client library for interfacing with the Cognito service, authentication-and-authorization flow?
