Many modern applications require consistent connections to backends. In this step by step tutorial video, I show you how to set up a WebSocket API with a Lambda Function backend. This is a completely serverless solution that does not require hardware provisioning.

One "Thumb up" is not enough! You are **by far** the best source for AWS functions! Best is used as superlative on purpose, because there is no one better.

Thank you for your videos. I like them all. But I am currently not sure if this would be possible to connect a websocket connection directly to a sns topic? So that I do not need to have a lambda function to send messages to a specific topic. Do you have an idea of how i could solve this?

@alexanderhall1819 2 жыл бұрын

If anyone is getting an error sending a message to the websocket, be sure to check the format of the message you are sending. I was originally just pasting the name of the route, but you need to provide json like {"action": "", "message": ""} to get it to work properly. Refer to 15:20 in the video for the explanation

Does the lambda function handling the websocket connection have a 15 min max timeout? Does that mean that clients can't connect for more than 15 mins?

The requests to the @connections API need to be signed with SigV4, right? Where is this done? This requires the access key of an authorised IAM user, correct?

@natewallis1 2 жыл бұрын

How would I do a broadcast from the backend that doesn't use a connection id that was gained through the front end. I guess I could connect to the websocket from inside the lambda, grab the connection id and then broadcast to all the connected clients, but I wonder how efficient this is to be connecting and disconnecting each time my lambda is called. Maybe there is a better way of doing it?

@andreluiz7059 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, but there's a problem with it and I really want to know what's your approach to fiz this problem. Your broadcast function, actually doesn't broadcast, it just send a specific message to a specific connection ID. How can I really broadcast to all connected sockets? You can't loop cause your lambda function will stop when it reaches the time limit if you have thousands of connections. How would you solve this problem?

@BeABetterDev 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Andre, API Gateway Websockets does not support multi-cast. Sending one by one is the only way to get this to work with this configuration. You can always multi-thread your lambda function to help with concurrency. This type of problem would only exist if there are a TON of connected clients. In that case, you probably wouldn't want to use a serverless approach anyway and should opt for a dedicated server(s). There's a good discussion this exact question here: www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/lvx273/fastest_way_to_send_a_websocket_broadcast_to_all/ Hope this helps

@programmingcheatsheet Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this video, as well as your other videos. Though for future reference, if step 1 involves creating a Lambda function, I think it'd be best to begin the video with creating a Lambda function instead of trying to work backwards. You skipped a lot of steps, which is not helpful for following along. The wss:// connection fails immediately if you don't have the lambda function written already and cloudwatch logs dont exist if you dont explicitly set them up while creating the lambda function
