Working with WebSockets on AWS

WebSockets is the best way to interact in real-time between your front-end and back-end. AWS provides a new WebSocket API through API Gateway, which is powerful and easy to set up. In this tutorial, we'll create a new WebSocket API, a Lambda function, and connect to it with a simple front-end client. Watch this video for more details!
