Using `cowboy` might be easier than you think. [Here’s](https://github.com/ruslandoga/backend-for-ios-ws-experiments) a small example of how it could be done. The important bits are the [plug child spec](https://github.com/ruslandoga/backend-for-ios-ws-experiments/blob/e126a17f45b0382533a076b1375b83ec2f8907b7/lib/w/application.ex#L9-L10) and the [module implementing cowboy\_websocket behaviour.](https://github.com/ruslandoga/backend-for-ios-ws-experiments/blob/master/lib/web/socket.ex) You can ignore the `Web.UserSocket` and “pubsub” specifics.

[More info on `cowboy_websocket` behaviour.](https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.6/manual/cowboy_websocket/)
