Build real-time apps with Azure Web PubSub for Socket.IO | Azure Friday

Socket.IO is a library for building low-latency, bidirectional and event-based communication between a client and a server. Now you can build real-time apps with Azure Web PubSub for Socket.IO and say goodbye to using adapters. Kevin Guo and Chenyang Liu are here to show Scott Hanselman how it works, today on Azure Friday.

Why would we use this over SignalR?

[@MicrosoftAzure]

Hey Sergey, if you’re already familiar with SignalR, there’s no need to use Web PubSub for msft.it/60589S9PQ. msft.it/60589S9PQ and SignalR address largely the same challenge for developers - enabling hassle-free, real-time, bidirectional communication. msft.it/60589S9PQ has a large node.js developer base and SignalR library is the go-to solution for .NET developers. Depending on your team’s familiarity and preference, you could see either msft.it/60589S9PQ or SignalR library.

This was my exact question as well. Ty for answer

[@Jishnu_Nath]

Absolutely 👍

for education thankyou

Is the one with glass a live audience ?

[@gabrielmajorsky9532]

Does it handle rooms as well?

[@sadekhossain9566]

Great, how do we secure it? so that no one else can access it?

[@jordyvu1103]

does it support live collaboration feature using CRDT structure?

[@MicrosoftAzure]

Hi Thanh, msft.it/60509S97o has a focus on providing the real-time communication channel between clients and server. Both the server and clients can send data to each other at the same time. msft.it/60509S97o doesn’t concern itself with how the editing conflicts are resolved. If an analogy helps, you can think of msft.it/60509S97o as a parcel service, in that it sends the parcel for you when you tell it to, but it doesn’t prevent you from sending the same parcel to your recipients. As an example of conflict-free co-editing, you can check out ProseMirror. ProseMirror is a library for developing collaborative text editor. It uses a data structure called “transaction” to enable conflict-free co-editing.
