- Can I use IoT to send messages between phones and web browsers? (I’ve previously set up DynamoDB, Cognito & Lambda for signup and messaging)
- Is there anything tying multiple devices together to social identities? (E.g. my iPhone, iPad, Safari on macOS)
- Any limitations that would come to mind with the above use cases?

- for sure. typically customers use websockets for that type of messaging. SDKs for iOS, Android and JavaScript here
- from the application perspective, we tie access to topics (what devices talk over) to credentials like a certificate or cognito identity). you can also use the registry (metadata on a thing) to store other key/value pairs like your internal IDs. Further, you could use the Shadow service to carry some additional metadata although that's not the best use case there.
- registry currently only supports 3 key:value pairs per thing. might be quicker to just have a dynamo lookup for things that belong to a social identity for now... we could help dig in more if you like.
- That sounds great, especially WebSockets for browsers since that is usually the neglected use case.
- Gotcha, Cognito Identity I've worked with before (both custom and public providers) so that's something I'll look into.
- Agreed! Foreign key to Dynamo or e.g. https://onename.com
@kyleroche Thanks so much for your answers. I'll keep you posted on what I'm working on and get in touch soon 😄
