In conjunction with Amazon IVS, it can be used to build a compelling customer experience for live streams with chat use-cases.\n\n**This project is intended for education purposes only and not for production usage.**\n\nThis is a serverless web application, leveraging [Amazon IVS](https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/), [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/), and WebSockets. The web user interface is a [single page application](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application) built using [responsive web design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design) frameworks and techniques, producing a native app-like experience tailored to the user's device.\n\n\nThe demo showcases how you can implement a simple chat client next to an Amazon IVS stream. Viewers are asked to enter their name the first time they begin chatting. Messages are sent in the format `\u003cUsername\u003e` `\u003cMessage\u003e` as part of each chat \"bubble\". Chat users can send plain text messages, text links, and emojis. Chat messages have a character limit of 510 characters.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n***IMPORTANT NOTE:** Deploying this demo application in your AWS account will create and consume AWS resources, which will cost money.*\n\nThis demo is comprised of two parts: `serverless` (the demo backend) and `web-ui` (the demo frontend).\n\n1. If you do not have an AWS account, please see [How do I create and activate a new Amazon Web Services account?](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/)\n2. Log into the [AWS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/) if you are not already. Note: If you are logged in as an IAM user, ensure your account has permissions to create and manage the necessary resources and components for this application.\n3. [Test locally or deploy](./serverless/README.md) to your AWS account. The CloudFormation template will automate the serverless backend and Amazon IVS channel creation.\n\n## Known issues and limitations\n* The application was written for demonstration purposes and not for production use.\n* Currently only tested in the us-west-2 (Oregon) region. Additional regions may be supported depending on service availability.\n\n## About Amazon IVS\nAmazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) is a managed live streaming solution that is quick and easy to set up, and ideal for creating interactive video experiences.
