Amazon GameLift Streams backend service and web client

Amazon GameLift Streams enables you to stream applications through a web browser. With the Amazon GameLift Streams Web SDK, you can set up a backend streaming service. Then, end users connect to a stream through a web client. They can play your game or interact with your application all through the cloud.

The Amazon GameLift Streams Web SDK includes a sample backend server and a sample web client, which you can use to get started on creating a backend service. You can also use these samples to test how Amazon GameLift Streams streams, without additional development. To get started, refer to Setting up a web server and client with Amazon GameLift Streams.

If you want to share a stream without building your own web client, you can use a stream URL instead. A stream URL opens your stream in a supported web browser for anyone you share it with, so you do not need the Amazon GameLift Streams Web SDK or a backend service to let end users stream. For more information, see Share stream sessions with stream URLs.
