Websocket Api — AWS Solutions Architect Associate Practice Questions

WebSocket API in Amazon API Gateway enables full-duplex, persistent connections between clients and backends, supporting real-time two-way communication without repeated polling. The Solutions Architect Associate exam may present scenarios such as chat applications, live dashboards, or gaming leaderboards where WebSocket is the appropriate choice over a REST API. Candidates should understand how API Gateway manages connection state, how routes direct messages to Lambda or other backends, and how this pattern compares to alternatives like Server-Sent Events or polling. Knowing when to recommend WebSocket API versus HTTP demonstrates an understanding of real-time architecture trade-offs.
