Real-time Applications with AWS WebSockets and TypeScript

Modern applications increasingly demand real-time capabilities—from live chat systems and collaborative editing to real-time dashboards and gaming. In this final post of our AWS and TypeScript series, we’ll explore how to build scalable real-time applications using AWS API Gateway WebSocket APIs, Lambda functions, and TypeScript to create robust, type-safe real-time communication systems.

Understanding WebSocket APIs with AWS

AWS API Gateway WebSocket APIs provide a fully managed service for building real-time, bidirectional communication applications. Key advantages include:

Building Type-Safe APIs with AWS API Gateway and TypeScript

Building robust APIs requires more than just handling HTTP requests—it demands type safety, proper validation, and clear documentation. In this post, we’ll explore how to build production-ready APIs using AWS API Gateway with TypeScript, ensuring type safety from request to response while maintaining excellent developer experience.

Why Type-Safe APIs Matter

Type safety in API development provides several critical advantages:
