XF Chat with websockets and AWS or Other Providers

Hi,

I have cross platform development with XF 4.8 currently taht targets android and ios. I need a chat function that works with XF real time bidirectionally. I know of SignalR but since my backend is on aws. i need something that will work with their api mgr/lambda WebSocket/dynamo db or a third party provider that is easy with XF to communicate over sockets. I don't think SignalR works well with the similar constructs structure on aws.

I found this but this nuget, but the system sockets hasnt been updated since 2017 and who know s how it plays with XF. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/developing-real-time-communication-apps-with-websocket/

Has anyone implemented chat with their own capability on aws or a third party successfully with XForms. Can you please provide advice, sample, or repos. Or if someone has implemented chat on Azure SignalR that uses aws for their backend containers and data persistence that would be useful

Thank you so much
Bob

Adding.. that do know many providers have chat functions but their sdks are generally ios android or javascript with samples of usage in those languages. Im trying to do something with XF in C# in real time over sockets
