Talk Description:
WebSockets hold a very special place in my career development. They are a very useful solution for bidirectional communication on the web. It definitely feels like one of the most web-y technologies we have. When AWS introduced WebSocket capabilities to the API Gateway, I was thrilled. No more using IoT Core, or hijacking queues, it was a real websocket that allowed me to build applications to connect users and send them really cool information. In this talk, I set up an interactive demo that involves gathering accelerometer data from audience phones and displaying it on the large screen with high entertainment value. I aim to make all of my talks appeal to multiple levels of developers, from beginners to veterans by showing examples and talking about real world experiences. I would be honored and humbled if you could make it to my talk, where we will revive WebSockets to their full glory in the Serverless age!
