Introducing multiple instances of our application with SignlaR behind a load balancer is a problem because SignalR keeps track of connected clients in each instance. This blog post is apart of a course that is a complete step-by-setup guide on how to build real-time web applications using ASP.NET Core SignalR. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build real-world, scalable, production… Read More »Practical ASP.NET Core SignalR: Scaling
