Real-Time Systems Architecture with WebSockets and SignalR
In the dynamic landscape of modern web applications, user expectations for real-time interactions have become increasingly demanding. Traditional request-response models struggle to meet these expectations, giving rise to a new era in architecture that embraces real-time communication. In this blog post, we'll delve into the realms of WebSockets and SignalR—two technologies that are at the forefront of real-time systems architecture. The Need for Real-Time Communication In the early days of the Internet, websites predominantly relied on a request-response mechanism. The client would send a request to the server, and the server would respond with the requested information. Traditional request-response models struggle to meet the demands of modern applications, leading to the advent of groundbreaking technologies like WebSockets and libraries like SignalR. In this exploration, we shine a spotlight on SignalR, a game-changer for ASP.NET developers seeking to infuse their applications ...
