Azure SignalR Service, a fully-managed service to add real-time functionality
Real-time technologies have become integral to many of our favorite apps including Microsoft Team’s group chat and Office 365’s co-authoring feature. Users expect to instantly respond to information as it changes in real-time. To support this, business leaders are demanding applications that facilitate real-time interactions with end customers. With about 3 million downloads to date, SignalR is a popular ASP.NET library that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time functionality to web applications.
Today, we are excited to announce the public preview of the Azure SignalR Service.
