Add Websocket Support

[tedivm]

Now that the API Gateway supports websockets it would be great if we could support them here as well.

Can you elaborate on what do you mean by that? As far as I know lambda doesn't support them so there isn't much we could do here unless there are some other integrations I'm not aware of.

Found this article on AWS Compute Blog.

This was announced publicly around reInvent and I saw a post about it right before making this thread. I honestly don't know enough at this point about how the AWS API Gateway supports websockets to know how it can be implemented here, but as @lis186 linked it's available for use today.

Ahhh I see. Callbacks are still implemented with lambda that's the part I didn't see. I assumed it would need some other kind of backend that Chalice doesn't support so the API gateway part wouldn't make much sense. I'll mark this as a feature request.

Not sure if this technically can be closed now that websockets are a part of chalice. I would like to deploy websockets using terraform which is now supported. Should this be a new issue?
