[Migrated] WebSockets/Channels support

[dmitrijs-balcers]

This isn't as much of a feature request as it is an attempt to start of a conversation about the possibility of adding WebSocket support (through Channels or otherwise). This would probably have to be done through AWS IoT (MQTT over WebSockets).

Here is a proof-of-concept using this with AWS Lambda:

I also found this, but I'm not sure if it helps us any:

Would love to see this added!

Could we use APIGateway's websocket api?

Websockets are supported by Serverless I wonder if we could make a similar setup here.

I've used apigateway web sockets in the past. In that case a lambda is prepared/assigned to each action. Perhaps we could have @websockets.sendmessage, @websockets.onconnect, @websockets.ondisconnect decorators that would wire up to an apigateway websockets instance and configure routing.

I'm happy to partner with someone on this. Any volunteers? I'm new to Zappa but am comfortable with Django/Python and AWS.
