SignalR is an open source library for .NET that adds real-time web functionality to applications. When building real-time features with SignalR, teams often face operational challenges like maintaining WebSocket connections across servers, running always-on infrastructure, and scaling a Redis backplane while keeping latency low. These operational costs grow as user base expands, diverting engineering time from building features.
In this post, you will learn how to migrate SignalR Hub-based architecture to the Event API feature of AWS AppSync, a fully managed, serverless WebSocket solution. You will walk through the architectural differences, see working .NET and React code examples, and get concrete guidance on when this migration makes sense for your application.
Why migrate to AWS AppSync
The Events API feature of AWS AppSync provides a fully managed, serverless approach to real-time communication that reduces operational overhead through automatic…
