Websocket Support for API Gateway

[nicosuave]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

As per the announcement of WebSocket support in API Gateway, adding WebSocket support to SAM would facilitate local development.

Proposal

Add WebSocket support to API Gateway functionality.

This may be entirely out of scope of the SAM project, but came to mind when initially exploring API Gateway with WebSocket support.

I think this would be extremely useful, if you're using the websocket endpoints as a consumer and not http then you're not testing what you're deploying. 👍

I just started researching API Gateway Websockets and was about to dive into some test code. I was planning to do some testing using HTTP endpoints, but now I'm wondering if this is even possible. Any ideas?

[alexandrecanuto]

I'd love to see that as well.

[kauphylover]

We'd love to see this supported in SAM asap.

It looks like it is? https://github.com/aws-samples/simple-websockets-chat-app

@virtuoushub I'm not 100% sure, but I think that can only be packaged and deployed using the sam cli, but not actually run.

[virtuoushub]

@redtopia ah, I think you are correct. I have successfully packaged and deployed; but running locally I have not tested. Thanks for clarifying.

[kellengreen]

That example is only for packaging and deploying. API Gateway websocket support for localhost is still lacking in SAM.

I want this. XD
