- 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.
Fantastic video as always. And great timing, we're setting one of these up right now.
omg! where were you all my life! this was a life saver i was going nuts thinking i wrote something wrong but it was just a permission i needed to add. man aws is gonna take some time to learn. subbed and liked you deserve more.
I'm new to AWS and learning quite a lot from your channel these days. Thanks for the tutorials!
You do a very good job explaining these topics. Thanks.
Superb video. Huge thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Extremely helpful.
Great video! Your walkthrough was extremely clear. Thank you!
You're very welcome Steve! Glad I was able to help! :)
Thank you for this video. This one explained the behavior and configurations of AWS WebSocket nicely!
This is a fantastic video Sir. It literally saved me a lot of time.
Thanks for sharing. 🤝
Thank you so much. Such a good tutorial!
Great video!!!!! a big big big thank you for doing this...
Muchas gracias por este genial video. Saludos!
Amazing video dude! Thanks
You're very welcome!
Thank you a lot man !
You helped me so much, Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Thank you sooo much for these videos! This content isn't really available on the web. It's either the docs (written for people with CS PhDs) or massive heavy courses on cloudguru. But these little tid bits of info are awesome!
Thank you so much for your kind words Bernhard!
Thank you sir!
Thank you ^^
Thanks for the great video, pls make video on appsync subscriptions for massive scale date.
Thank so much!
You're very welcome Michael!
thank you.. 🙏
Thank you for the great content. Easy to follow and understand. Would say to start from creating the lambda first as it was slightly confusing having to keep track. Otherwise really useful content. Thanks :)
Great Video. You saved me a lot of time setting up this process, but the broadcast function needs to be initialed in some way by the sendMessage route...
this is great. what type of apps would this be useful for?
Very interesting and useful video.
Can you share the difference between DynamoDB Streams vs DynomoDB Kenisis Streams?
What is better way to send DB changes to the client using web socket?
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?
Thanks for the video it summarizes a full 3h useless udemy courses in less than 20 min. Thank you . by the way you can use the command windows key at windows + v to see your clipboard history :) Thanks
Is it possible to broadcast to all connected users instead of only one as in this case where you specified the connection?
Is there a way to broadcast message to a specific “room”? Or message will be received from all clients, and I need to filter room in frontend?
just wondering can I change sendMessage lambda into ec2, so I want to build some service worker to send message to client. is it possible?
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
Good tip!
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?
can I use CloudFront-Viewer-Country-Region header on lambda websocket?
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?
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?
There is something important missing in this video: the forwarding type should proxy in order to the websock to lambda redirect (Lampda proxy) to work. Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
can this api gateway hold the connection for long time periods? what if the socket is disconnected from the third party side?
How about scalling connection websocket?
I tried to run an example of your code and it fails the send message with a timeout no matter the length of that timeout. Can you help.
how i will get the dynamic connectionID form my front end
what is apigatewaymanagementapi? only thing I don't understand on this video. I'm guessing its a gateway you already have set up, but does it need any configuration or it can be a blank gateway?
I am getting Internal server error when trying to send message. I didn check the IAM policy and code was taken from the github (correct code). And endpoint_URL is websocket url. What could be wrong?
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?
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
Does anyone know how to make this through a template?
Is this faster than setting up websockets with an ecs?
You're very welcome Iain. I'm glad I could inspire others and show that a path to success doesn't always follow the traditional roads. Cheers.
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
Hi,i tried to do in sendmessage lambda, I am getting the error of the (KeyError : requestContext) ,line connectionId=event["requestContext"]["connectionId"]. Please help me solve this error.
It looks like you are missing a ‘d’ in ‘connectionId’
@@BeABetterDevsorry, I mistakenly added 'd', but in the lambda that is correct ,still I am getting the same Keyerror .how to resolve that? and There is any need to add api trigger in lambda sendMessage ?.
anyone getting cors issue?
Whoever put a thumbs down on this video, could you please explain why?
Can't please everyone... :P
REST Fanboys ;)
This video is excellent.
