Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with the Amazon Chime SDK while trying to integrate it into a Next.js project. I'm starting to feel like the support for the SDK might be lacking. For instance, I've noticed that it doesn't seem to work well with React 19. I've got WebRTC to run, but I'm struggling to figure out if there's an actual Amazon Chime session active. Also, when I attempt to transcribe a session, I'm not getting any results, even when I follow the documentation.
Plus, I tried to access the Amazon Chime SDK console to find meetings by meeting ID, but it looks like that functionality might be missing. It seems like a lot of the workshops have disappeared, and many links don't work anymore.
So, does anyone know if the Amazon Chime SDK is still operational? Are there any alternatives I could consider? I'm aiming to develop a Voice AI Agent that allows users to chat with an AI helpdesk, incorporating transcription to Polly.

Yep, Chime SDK is still up and running! I found a blog post that reassures its availability, so you should be fine continuing with your project. Just check out the official AWS documentation regularly for updates as some features might be undergoing changes.
I came across an official AWS blog that mentions the Chime SDK service is still available, so you're not alone in feeling like some resources are outdated. You might want to keep an eye on the documentation for any changes though. Here's the link: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/messaging-and-targeting/update-on-support-for-amazon-chime/
Always good to know there’s still support! I had similar issues with finding documentation, but I’ll keep checking like you suggested.
Have you considered Amazon Lex for your AI helpdesk project? It integrates well with other AWS services and could complement what you want to achieve with Chime.
Thanks for sharing that link! I definitely need to keep up with their updates.
