Sharing a SignalR hub between a WebApi and MVC project

Question

Is there a recommended approach to sharing a SignalR hub across two applications?

The actual situation is a public facing WebAPI project and an internal MVC WebApp.

Answer 1

Just setup signalr message routing through a SQL Server table. It will automatically connect all hubs using the same routing setup. Nothing else to do, it's magic.

GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.UseSqlServer(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["signalr"].ConnectionString);

You will need the following nuget package: Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SqlServer
