Apigee X - websockets termination

[maucaro30]

Hello, 

Can Apigee X provide termination for websockets clients? Something like:

client < --- websockets ---> Apigee X <----HTTP ---> backend

In this scenario, the backend would be able to send messages to clients via Apigee X. In other words, a model similar to AWS's API GW (see link).

Thanks,

Apigee X can act as a websocket proxy. Apigee X does not perform protocol conversion, from ws to http.  

If you have a client that upgrades to ws, Apigee will upgrade the target to ws. 

Does this answer your question?

BTW, last week I recorded a quick walkthrough of websocket for Apigee, view it here.
