AWS Api Gateway now supports websockets which allows for our serverless API to accept socket connections and push data to consumers. See https://github.com/neverendingqs/serverless-websocket-example
A partial implementation of this feature can be found in backend/src/connection.ts
Implementing this feature would require the following things to be done
- On websocket connection, store socketId to playerId mapping in a fast in-memory db like Redis
- When data is to be pushed to a player, lookup this Redis db and find the socketId which will be passed to the ApiGateway websocket API to push data
On the frontend side, a socket connection would have to be established and listeners setup to listen for events from the backend
