Apollo GraphQL server in AWS cloud with subscriptions

Question

I would like to set up an apollo graphql server using AWS. I tried setting up apollo-server-lambda with AWS Lambda and it works perfectly fine, however it lacks pretty important feature: subscriptions, and for those you would need a websocket server.

I saw this solution for this problem https://github.com/ioxe/graphql-aws-iot-server which uses AWS IoT to handle subscriptions but it seems to be rather complex and non-maintained.

My question is it a right solution to get subscription or should I just set up an EC2 instance and run apollo sever there?

Also, If I do set up an EC2 instance for that, will it be easier to set up and how should it be scaled?

PS Before you ask, I am aware about AWS AppSync and this service is not suitable as it has a big problem with N+1 issues, long query execution times and broken android client.

我当前正在使用AWS Lambda，但是当我需要添加订阅时，我计划迁移到Elastic Beanstalk，而不是简单的EC2实例，因为它为您做了很多扩展，而且自阿波罗服务器2以来，它大约只有一行从Lambda切换到Beanstalk的代码集
