Add real-time web functionality to Angular application using ASP.NET Core SignalR, Azure SignalR service and Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0

This is the next part of the series on developing and deploying

  • Angular, ASP.NET Core Web API and SQL Server to Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Function Apps using Azure Functions 2.0 runtime

In this article I am going to go through steps needed to add real-time web functionality to Angular App using ASP.NET Core SignalR and Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0. The specific topics which this article is going to cover are

  • Add ASP.NET Core SignalR to ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web API
    • ASP.NET Core SignalR
    • ASP.NET Core SignalR scale out using
      • Azure SignalR Service backplane
      • Redis Cache backplane
  • Publish/Subscribe messages to SignalR Hub from Angular App
  • Publish/Subscribe messages to SignalR Hub using Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0 from Angular App
  • Build Docker images and deploy to Azure Kubernetes Service

Azure Functions 2.0: Create Function App from Docker Image (Functions triggered by Cosmos DB, Blob storage, Event Hub and SignalR service bindings)

This is second part of the series on developing and deploying Azure Functions 2.0 where I will

  • Create a function triggered by Azure Cosmos DB
  • Create Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0
  • Publish Docker Image to Docker Hub
  • Create Function App from Docker Image in Azure Portal
  • Deploy functions to Azure Kubernetes Service from VS Code

The first part of the series provides details on creating functions triggered by Azure Blob storage and Event hub in Visual Studio Code along with deploying Azure Functions to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

Azure Functions 2.0: Create, debug and deploy to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run code on-demand without having to explicitly provision or manage infrastructure. You can read about Azure Functions 2.0 general availability @ Introducing Azure Functions 2.0.  Runtime 2.0 runs on .NET Core 2, which means it can run on all platforms supported by .NET Core, including macOS and Linux. This enables cross-platform development and hosting scenarios.

In this article I am going to

  • Create Azure Functions triggered by Azure Blob storage and Event hub in Visual Studio Code
  • Debug locally in Visual Studio Code
  • Deploy Azure Functions to Azure Kubernetes Service

Dev tools used to develop these components are Visual Studio Code for macOS, Docker, AKS Dashboard and kubectl.
