This is a Serverless project which creates a websocket chat backend. It's quite basic, but supports some standard features including setting a nickname, multiple channels, and broadcasting messages to channel members. The coolest this is that this is entirely serverless and in Python!

This can all be deployed with AWS SAM.

$ sam build
$ sam deploy --guided

The final output will be a wss endpoint which you can connect to:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
