Using CloudFormation, you can build fully-managed WebSocket APIs in API Gateway. WebSocket APIs allow you to reduce the overall cost and complexity of building real-time, two-way communication applications such as chat applications, alerts and notifications applications, and real-time dashboards. CloudFormation will allow you to automate the creation of the resources you need to build WebSocket APIs in API Gateway, such as APIs, routes, stages, and deployments.
To learn more about the WebSocket API resources supported by CloudFormation, read our documentation or take a look at our sample chat application in GitHub.
CloudFormation support for building WebSocket APIs in API Gateway is available in all regions where API Gateway and CloudFormation are available. To see a list of these regions, view the AWS region table.
