Steps
Call CreateRoom to provision a chat room, configuring max message length (1-500 chars) and max message rate (1-100 messages/sec)
Optionally attach up to 3 logging configurations to the room for message auditing
Call CreateChatToken per participant to issue an encrypted, time-limited token used to open an individual WebSocket connection
Have each client connect over WebSocket using its chat token, then send messages with an Action: SEND_MESSAGE JSON payload including Content and optional Attributes
Use the room ARN returned from CreateRoom to manage or delete the room later
Known gotchas
CreateChatToken tokens are scoped to a single session/duration - they are not long-lived credentials and must be reissued per connection
Message length and rate limits are enforced per room (1-500 chars, 1-100 msgs/sec) - sending outside those bounds will be rejected rather than throttled silently
