Understanding web application architecture for the Amazon Chime SDK - Amazon Chime SDK

You can serve your web application from a content delivery network, and load it when the user navigates to a URL in a browser. You can also wrap it in a platform-native Electron application that the user installs on their machine.

To join a new or existing meeting, the web application makes REST requests to the server application. Typically, the requests carry an authorization token or a cookie that your application uses for other API requests. You can also design your web client to send a region hint to the server, which the latter can use when providing the MediaRegion parameter to chime:CreateMeeting. Your web application can determine the closest media services region by making an HTTP GET request to the https://nearest-media-region.l.chime.aws endpoint.
