Which services are appropriate for Websocket communication in Azure?

From the documentation, we are aware that there are two services that support Websocket communication, Web PubSub and Application Gateway.

Azure API Management only provides a pass-through to the Websocket API and not Websocket management itself.

    @test29998411 Thanks for posting your questions in Microsoft Q&A forum. Apologize for any inconvenience caused with this.

    Azure Web PubSub service for building real-time web applications with WebSockets Azure Web PubSub Service helps you build real-time messaging web applications using WebSockets and the publish-subscribe pattern easily. This real-time functionality allows publishing content updates between server and connected clients (for example a single page web application or mobile application). The clients do not need to poll the latest updates, or submit new HTTP requests for updates.

    You can refer to these documentations for more information about Web PubSub.

    1. WebPubSub Service is used for.
    2. Sample codes for WebPubSub using websockets.

    Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
