Scaling ASP.NET SignalR Applications for Peak Performance

ASP.NET is a very popular platform for developing real-time web applications as it provides developers with a rich set of development assistance features. One of such features is SignalR which can help you efficiently develop real-time data processing ASP.NET applications.

SignalR ("R" stands for real-time) is a well-known open source library for ASP.NET web developers that allows you to push content from the server side to all the connected clients as soon as information gets available. This helps simplify the development efforts needed for adding real-time web functionality to your applications.

Why Should You Use ASP.NET SignalR?

SignalR gives you the ability within your ASP.NET applications to have server-side code push content to connected thin clients instantaneously, as it becomes available instead of waiting for clients to make another request for new data. Clients do not need to rely on the typical HTTP polling mechanism anymore and instead, SignalR uses push mechanism for new content to be made available to the clients. This helps improve overall application performance and user experience.
