WebSocket Generator - WIP

This script will generate a fully functional WebSocket using AWS Gateway Api and DynamoDB.

The WebSocket routes will be as follows:

• $connect: Makes the WebSocket connection and saves the connectionID, timestamp and deviceTypeto a dynamoDB table. DeviceType helps to distinguish between different device connectivity
• $disconnect: Disconnects the WebSocket and removes the connectionID from the dynamoDB table.
• $default: This will contain the __PING__ __PONG__ functionality which ensures the connection can kept alive throughout it's use.

It will be built using Terraform and Serverless with choice of one of the following 6 languages:

• Node
• Typescript
• Python
• Golang
• Java
• Ruby

All Terraform and Serveless code will be added to you project in the directory of your choice. Once the coded is added you can alter or modified the code as you please. You can choose to continue using the build in scripts (see below)or use the Terraform and Serverless commands independently, it is up you. This is a quick first step to creating your own websocket.

Prerequists

• You will need to have your aws account ID
• For a better user interface use a full screen terminal tab
