TL;DR

  • SignalR: High-level abstraction over WebSockets with automatic fallbacks (Long Polling, Server-Sent Events)
  • Hubs: Server-side classes that clients can call methods on, and vice versa
  • Groups: Logical groupings of connections for targeted broadcasting
  • Redis Backplane: Enables horizontal scaling by distributing messages across multiple servers
  • Skip Negotiation: WebSocket-only mode that bypasses the HTTP negotiation step for lower latency
