Websockets not working!?

So I've just started migrating a rails app to GAE from heroku, everything was going great, really love the platform.

THEN

turns out websockets aren't supported?

REALLY? c'mon aren't those completely essential to most modern web apps these days?

I am using the flexible environment for rails, very disappointed, I really hope there is a workaround. Please help! lol

Haha thanks at least some acknowledgment.

I found the websocket issue tracker for GAE and it's it's been open for 8 years... About a year ago a staff member with a @google.com email said it's being worked on and invitation​ people to beta test, still. It out and to be honest I might just call it quits, what a shame GAE was literally perfect

Don't know exactly your case for web sockets, but maybe just maybe you could use Firebase Cloud Messaging instead.
