I would like to add signalR to our cloud application. I've read that SignalR may use the Windows Azure Service Bus to snchronize the
hubs between application instances but I would like to know which mechanism it is using, is it
Topics/Subscription or Service
Relays? (I am not an Azure expert but this might change the way Microsoft bills me as far as I've seen).
It's using Topics. The current release of the scaleout for service bus isn't ready for production use. We're planning on releasing 1.0 quality scaleout providers in 1.1 which should be around 2 months.

Hi,

I've read that SignalR may use the Windows Azure Service Bus to snchronize the hubs between application instances but I would like to know which mechanism it is using, is it Topics/Subscription or Service Relays?

Thank you for any guidance, clues and hints!

Thanks for the reply David, we are looking forward to include SignalR into our current project someday.
It is a good thing to know it uses Topics, it is less expensive (in Azure) than relays!

I am also waiting for it but as far as I've seen version 1.1 is still a beta, check this:
https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/blob/master/ReleaseNotes.md
It would be nice to know when a final 1.1 version will be ready ;)
Thanks,
signalr
