Setting SignalR Hubs

Overview

Normally, when our application is scaled out, we'll be running multiple instances of the same application that was created from the same code. Different systems allow us to scale applications—Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Azure Service Fabric, etc.

The entry point into the application for the clients would typically be a reverse proxy, a load balancer, or a combination of both. Basically, some gateway software would accept the initial request. And then this request would be rerouted to a specific instance of the application. Typically, there would be some algorithm in place to ensure that it’s an instance with a reasonably low load that the request gets routed to.
