ASP.NET Core SignalR and the Azure SignalR Service managed backplane power live dashboards, notifications, and collaborative UIs in ConnectSoft templates—scale-out without operating your own WebSocket farm when Azure hosts the connection layer.
Factory microservices use SignalR hubs on .NET 10 with Microsoft Entra ID-backed auth; we add Azure SignalR Service when connection count, regional presence, or operational offload justify the managed service. Redis backplane remains an option for self-hosted scale-out patterns.
Client engagements get explicit transport, reconnect, and telemetry rules in Application Insights so real-time features do not become silent failure points under load.
If live updates are core to your product, we wire SignalR the same way as the rest of your Azure platform—not as a one-off script on the side.
