postman-app-support
Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.
In order to test your WebSocket, you can grab the WebsocketUri output from your SAM deployment and connect to it in Postman. Postman is an application designed for everything around APIs, including connecting to WebSockets.

spec
The AsyncAPI specification allows you to create machine-readable definitions of your asynchronous APIs. (by asyncapi)
Over the coming weeks, I will be creating posts in a WebSocket series describing ways to add authentication, custom domains, and defining events through an Async API spec.
